Dec 7, 2015 at 13:05 comment added Ø. Hammer Thanks, yes some get it right as you say, like Wikipedia and the book by Gowing, but the Maclaurin story is all around. My question is why Maclaurin has entered the picture here at all. Has Maclaurin said anything about the lituus? Or is it a random error?
