In many cases, when a colony of micro-organisms such as moulds, yeasts or bacteria grows on the plane surface of a solid medium ( e.g. agar), starting from a single cell, the colony tends to grow as an ever expanding circle. The reason for this is that every cell, if free from competition, can multiply at roughly a constant rate in all directions in a plane, limited by the fact that territory occupied by one cell cannot be occupied by another. For the purposes of the present discussion, we can assume, as a first approximation, that the whole process is two-dimensional.

Morley's theorem states that if ABC be any triangle, and if those trisectors of the angles B and C adjacent to BC meet in L , and M , N be similarly constructed, then the triangle LMN is equilateral.

The apparatus consists of a base piece with central line X'OX •carrying on OX a uniform scale suitably graduated. An upright piece OY is fixed rigidly at right angles to the base piece and carries a scale marked " y " at R, where OR = /y. An arm PQ, made of transparent material, can rotate about the pivot P, which is attached to a slide moveable along X'O, and carries a uniform scale whose unit is half that of the OX scale.
