He highlights an important matter regarding indications to be given regarding the sun's axis and the line of the wire in the margin, with the words 'sun's axis' and 'wire' to be written there.
They require 1025 copies of each plate printed on plate-paper as near as possible to the tone of the spare proof. Rix further states that as the plate numbers are fixed, and the order of publications determined, they must produced the paper quickly to avoid delays to subsequent papers. |
