Dufton (siehe JFM 31.0170.03) construirt die Curve \(x=2^y\) aus den ganzzahligen Werten, um daraus die Logarithmen von \(x\) für die Basis 2 abzulesen. Perry (siehe JFM 31.0170.04) stimmt diesem Vorschlage bei. Pocklington benutzt die logarithmische Spirale zu demselben Zwecke, indem er sie mechanisch aufzeichnet.
