Allan Chapman (Author). This is a study of the relationship between astronomers and the instrument makers from 1500 to 1850. The need for more accurate measurements produced a close harmony between the users and the makers of the scientific equipment of the time, and on the craft of Tycho Brahe's instrument makers turned the subsequent development of astronomy and navigation.

Dividing the Circle examines the history of angular measuring instruments and their central role in astronomy from 1500-1850. During this period the principle intellectual interests in astronomy lay in the ability of astronomers to measure angles with increasing precision, to investigate phenomena such as Earth's motion in space, its oblate shape and the Newtonian laws of gravitation.
