Alex Eremenko asked, about the translation of Mayer's description, in Latin, of his repeating circle, written in 1744-5, and published by Maskelyne in 1770 as part of Mayer's "Tabulae Motuum Solis et Lunae". >Where is this translation posted? >(Or how otherwise I can get it?) >Alex. ============= Patience, Alex, patience. The Australian translators and I are in the late stages of polishing the thing up, between us. They have kindly given me permission to do what I wish with their translation, and the first thing I will do is to post it to Nav-l. It won't be a long wait, I reckon. A couple of weeks, maybe. It's good to know that there's interest in it. Tnanks to Steven Wepster for sending me the photocopy that triggered it all off.
