Footnote 69
Supp. Prop., §43. Here versa (in M.) is certainly
miswritten for recta, as in L. See fig. 18, Plate VI.
Here Eb = E'b' = 12; b'c' = 1, bc = 2.
Hence E'B = 1/12 BC, EB = 2/12 BC, whence EE' = 1/12 BC. Or again,
if bc become = 3, 4, 5 &c., successively, whilst b'c'
remains = 1, then EE' is successively = 2/12 or 1/6, 3/12 or ¼,
5/12, &c. Afterwards, add in the height of E.
