And ten minutes ago, onto my hall carpet, slipped by the postman through the letter-box slot in my front door (that's the way it happens here in the UK), has plopped the package just as he describes. Included are all the five methods of Norie (Krafft, Borda,Witchell. Mendoza, Lyon), with an example of each, together with table XXXV. All I could have asked for, and enough to keep me quiet for a while. Thanks a lot, Bruce.
