Mr. Bell and Professor Stratton have in the October Journal shed interesting light on the nature of inertial navigation as applied to navigation around a planet. It is a pity that Mr. Bell has repeated that in such inertial systems vehicle position and velocity are deduced from measurement of acceleration. This idea is certainly misleading so far as understanding error propagation in these systems is concerned, if not actually wrong.
