data, (
) of them are successive Numbers of Bernoulli. The reason why the Bernoulli Numbers used as data, are nevertheless placed on Result-columns in the diagram, is because they may properly be supposed to have been previously computed in succession by the engine itself; under which circumstances each
will appear as a result, previous to being used as a datum for computing the succeeding
. Here then is an instance (of the kind alluded to in [Note D.]) of the same Variables filling more than one office in turn. It is true that if we consider our computation of
, as a perfectly isolated calculation, we may conclude
