1896 Philos. Trans. 1895 (Royal Soc.) A. 186 706 The integral of this rotation taken (vectorially) throughout a small volume including the initial and final positions of the electron is equal to the strength of the electron multiplied by its linear displacement.

1947 Proc. Physical Soc. 59 24 If the remaining admittance is plotted vectorially, a circle of diameter 1/(S + Si) is obtained.

1978 Sci. Amer. May 126/2 The point will have two components of apparent motion... The components add vectorially, and the point appears to move diagonally rather than either horizontally or vertically.
