  <dc:description>Stating that the mathematical instrument makers have long suffered from the diffiuclty of getting instruments divided; there are several dividing-engines in London, but they are in possession of different shopkeepers who will not divide any work but their own; Bennitt asks that something may be done by the Board of Longitude to make such an engine available.</dc:description>
