Extract

It is always reassuring to find a kindred spirit thinking along the same lines as oneself. R. Williams's proposal for a table of latitude parts (34, 247) is a reiteration of my paper of twelve years ago (23, 233).

The equations of a rhumb-line track were established by Sadler (9, 371) and it always seemed to me to be a more elegant solution to solve the equations themselves rather than to apply corrections to inaccurate equations, hence the approach suggested in my paper.
