Abstract
1. The development of this paper involves the consideration of certain arithmetical, mechanical, and photo-electrical technicalities, but the ultimate aim is a very simple one and it may therefore be advisable to state it at once. The ultimate aim is to persuade the whole civilized world to abandon decimal numeration and to use octonal numeration in its place; to discontinue counting in tens and to count in eights instead.Keywords
