    Re: Interpolation of Meridional Part Table
    From: NavList

    Brad and George,
    Thank you both for your prompt replies.  The formula you provided should give a precise answer.
    
    But...I'm still left wondering how the editors of Dutton's got what they did.  
    They make no reference to any formula, but rather tell the reader to go to 
    Bowditch and look it up in the table.  Is there a way that table could give 
    them to the answer they show?  If linear interpolation doesn't do it, is 
    there an alternative interpolation method one shyould emply in such a case?
    
    -John
