The Museo Galileo (Florence) have on display a line-dividing engine (macchina per dividere le rette) and a circle-dividing engine (macchina per dividere i cerchi) made at the Florence workshops of the Imperial and Royal Museum of Physics (Regio Museo di Fisica Firenze).
The line dividing engine is stated to have been made in the second half of the 18thC., and the circle dividing engine in 1762.
