  • Abstract
    Early developments that preceded nomography are cited, and the development of the subject is examined in outline. The special problem of nomograms in three variables is considered in a general way. Uses of nomography, both old and recent, are given. The tone is intended to be descriptive, not technical, but references are provided so that the interested reader can investigate the subject further.
