I downloaded a copy of "Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy" that you guys recommended in my other threat. Wow! What a fascinating book and a wealth of information.
In Part 3, Moore describes dividing the circle as one of the four pillars of mechanical accuracy. Is circle division used as a basis for establishing consistent linear measurements, or is it only used to create angle standards, (or both)?
