Historical Note on Joachimsthal's Section-Formulae

This result is attributed to Ferdinand Joachimsthal by D.M.Y. Sommerville in his $1924$ work Analytical Conics.

Further reference to Joachimsthal's Section-Formulae cannot be found online, although some considerably more sophisticated results which bear similar names are apparent.
