He found that the flattening of the earth at the poles had redueed the polar axis of the earth by a matter of 26.694 miles. He estimated the polar diameter at 7,â€" 899.964 miles and the equatorial axis as 7,926.678 miles. His estimate for the. earth‘s fiattening was placed, therefore, at one part in 207.
