Descriptio Machinae ad Planetarum Motuu exhibendum ... in obsero: Paris, 1680
Scope and Contents
Diagrams and explanations of things Gregory saw in Paris in December of 1680: a pendulum of the sort used in Huygens' famous horologium, an enormous quadrant, and the moving planetary model of one Dr Romer. This was probably the Danish astromechanic Ole Roemer (1644-1710).
