Even with this special scale that we have described above, the inventor does not profess to get as good results as with an Amsler planimeter; he regards his instrument as equivalent to a foot rule in comparison with a micrometric gage as representing Amsler's instrument; but for a great number of purposes the foot rule is sufficiently accurate, and only when great accuracy is required will a micrometer be used, so with the two forms of planimeter.
