Can anyone point me to any references on the subject? For instance from [NavList 10886]:
"Noonan could be expected to have known this technique since he knew Weems and Chichester had popularized in 1931."How did they do that?
Has anyone heard of off-aiming in maritime navigation, perhaps under a different name?
Thank you very much.
