Graphic Methods for Presenting Facts
It is unfortunate that there is so much difficulty in obtaining paper liaving the logarithmic ruling in one direction and the arithmetical ruling in the other direction. The arithmetical ruling in one direction is essential for statistical work, since we must ordinarily plot as one scale data representing years or other subdivisions of time. In statistical work we cannot well use a paper having logarithmic ruling in both directions, yet that is the only kind of logarithmic paper which can be obtained from most stores selling drawing materials
