Yugoslav Activity in the Design of Tables for Astronomical Navigation at Sea

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 January 2010

Extract

The publication of Captain Flego's tables, which are of some theoretical interest, focuses attention on recent Yugoslav activity in the design of tables for astronomical navigation. The opportunity is therefore taken of adding to the review of these tables an account of S. M. Kotlaric's book; this was published in 1955 but has not previously been noticed in the Journal. English titles are used below.

It is sad to announce the death of Captain Frane Flego, after a long illness, on 21 November 1957, after this review had been written. During a brief correspondence he was able to explain one or two points about his tables in rather more detail. The authors acknowledge much assistance during correspondence with S. M. Kotlaric.
