At this point another change occurs: the former difference is added to
the last figures and the sum is doubled.

This series does not end at this point, but is continued in the lines
immediately above, which are as follows:

Adding the difference, 1, 0, 4, 0, to the final result of the preceding
addition we obtain the figures of the right hand column (fifth column,
Plate 71) of this series:
6 1 6 0
1 0 4 0
-- -- -- --
7 1 10 0
To obtain the figures of the fourth column this difference must be
doubled, thus
7 1 10 0
2 0 8 0
-- -- -- --
9 2 0 0
To obtain the black numbers of the next (third) column, the lower cipher
symbol of which is wanting, we add the former difference:
9 2 0 0
1 0 4 0
-- -- -- --
10 2 4 0
