The repeating circle is an instrument for geodetic surveying , invented by Etienne Lenoir instrument maker Etienne Lenoir in 1784 ref Daumas, Maurice, Scientific Instruments of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries and Their Makers , Portman Books, London 1989 ISBN 978 0 7134 0727 3 ref , while an assistant of Jean Charles de Borda , who later improved the instrument. It was notable as being the equal of the great theodolite created by the renowned instrument maker, Jesse Ramsden . It was used to measure the meridian arc from Dunkirk to Barcelona by Delambre and M chain . The repeating circle is made of two telescopes mounted on a shared axis with scales to measure the angle between the two. The instrument combines multiple measurements to increase accuracy with the following procedure File Borda repeating circle.svg thumb center upright 3.0 Align the instrument so its plane includes the two points to be measured, and aim each telescope at a point diagram 1 . Keeping the angle between the telescopes locked, rotate the left black telescope clockwise to aim at the right point diagram 2 . Note the position of the right gray telescope, and rotate it back to the left point diagram 3 . At this stage, the angle on the instrument is double the angle of interest between the points. Repeating the procedure causes the instrument to show 4x the angle of interest with further iterations increase it to 6x, 8x, and so on. In this way, many measurements can be added together, allowing some of the random measurement errors to cancel out. ref Alder, Ken, The Measure Of All Things , 2002 ISBN 0 7432 1675 X ref File 12in Repeating circle.jpg thumb 12 inch repeating circle.

refimprove date December 2007 A repeating rifle is a single barreled rifle containing multiple rounds of ammunition . These rounds are loaded from a magazine firearm magazine by means of a manual or automatic mechanism, and the action that reloads the rifle also typically recocks the firing action. The term repeating rifle is most often applied to weapons in which the next cartridge is loaded by a manual action, as opposed to semi automatic rifle s, in which the force of one shot is used to load the next. Repeating rifles were a significant advance over the preceding Breech loading weapon breech loaded single shot rifles when used for military combat, as they allowed a much greater rate of fire. One of the first repeating rifles was the Henry rifle . Manual mechanism Revolver action main Revolver While some early long gun s were made using the revolver mechanism popular in hand guns, these did not have longevity in the marketplace.

Calendar of Romulus The only calendar with a ten month year was the Roman calendar calendar of Romulus adopted sometime after Romulus and Remus founded the city of Rome in 753 BC, when Romulus killed Remus. According to Roman writers, including Censorinus and Macrobius , it had ten of the twelve months in our modern calendar, March through December, but it only had 304 days in its year. The remaining days needed to form a solar year were winter days not assigned to any month.

Some programming languages provide a built in primitive or library decimal data type to represent non repeatingdecimal fraction s like 0.3 and 1.17 without rounding, and to do arithmetic on them. Examples are the code decimal.Decimal code type of Python programming language Python , and analogous types provided by other languages. Rationale Fractional numbers are supported on most programming languages as floating point number s or fixed point number s. However, such representations typically restrict the denominator to a power of two. Most decimal fractions or most fractions in general cannot be represented exactly as a fraction with a denominator that is a power of two. For example, the simple decimal fraction 0.3 3 10 might be represented as 5404319552844595 18014398509481984 0.299999999999999988897769... . This inexactness causes many problems that are familiar to experienced programmers. For example, the expression code 0.1 7 0.7 code might counterintuitively evaluate to false in some systems, due to the inexactness of the representation of decimals. Although all decimal fractions are fraction s, and thus it is possible to use a rational data type to represent it exactly, it may be more convenient in many situations to consider only non repeatingdecimal fractions fractions whose denominator is a power of ten . For example, fractional units of currency worldwide are mostly based on a denominator that is a power of ten. Also, most fractional measurements in science are reported as decimal fractions, as opposed to fractions with any other system of denominators. A decimal data type could be implemented as either a floating point number or as a fixed point number . In the fixed point case, the denominator would be set to a fixed power of ten.
