Description

"Means of working a Sun "Chronometer" arithmetically have been for many years a desideratum. The book, as a substitute for or a check on logarithmic calculation, is almost a necessity, and is especially useful in latitudes less than 46. A comparison has been made in actual work of the tabular results with those obtained in the ordinary way, showing practically identical results'."
