Construction Of An Arithmetic Spiral
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
An illustration showing how to construct an arithmetic spiral. “Given the pitch p and angle v, divide them into an equal number of equal parts, say 6; make 01 = 01, 02 = 02, 03 = 03, 04 = 04, 05 = 05, and 06 = the pitch p; then join the points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, which will form the spiral required.”
