Chapter Chapter 11 in The Real Projective Plane, 1993, pp 155-168 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In Chapter 10 we discussed many properties of the real projective line, but there remain certain questions that would be difficult, if not impossible, to answer without using the concept of a coordinate or abscissa. For instance, how can you be sure that a harmonic net does not exhaust all the points on the line?
