History

Which limitation arose historically when crafting complex astrolabes?

A)Inaccurate graduations affect angular precision
B)Materials induced unpredictable thermal expansion
C)Fabrication introduced unknown residual stresses
D)Gear trains increased mechanical wear significantly

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate graduations limited precision because the **scribing error** accumulated across complex scales. Therefore angular precision suffers, rather than thermal expansion (material science), residual stress (structural integrity), or wear(dynamic failure), all requiring fine manufacturing.
