Abstract

Thirty years ago, in the April 1950 issue of this Journal (3, 133) J. E. D. Williams published a paper ‘Loxodromic distances on the terrestrial spheroid’, in which inter alia he provided a table of latitude corrections to allow for the varying length of a minute of latitude. In the present paper R. Williams tackles the same problem more directly and proposes a table of ‘latitude parts’.
