====================

It was only the day before yesterday that I pointed out, in[NavList
1435], on "Navigator's Newsletter and other forums"-

"To reduce confusion, there's no such thing as the "British Journal of
Navigation". It's "The Journal of Navigation", of the "Royal Institute
of Navigation", to be distinguished from "Navigation", its American
counterpart from the "Institute of Navigation". There is often
confusion about these similar names."

Anyone searching for "British Journal of Navigation" in a library
catalogue may possibly succeed in being redirected to "The Journal of
Navigation", but is more likely to go astray.

As a matter of interest, anyone looking up the issue that Peter refers
to will find some notes, in the "Forum" pages near the back, winding
up a series of discussion papers about the "Cocked Hat". These refer
to the 3 times out of 4 chance that a navigator will find himself
outside a cocked hat, compared to the only 1 in 4 chance that he will
be within it. Not that I wish to re-ignite that topic, but older hands
in Nav-l, will recall, from a few years ago, the disbelief with which
that notion was initially greeted, and its slow, grudging, acceptance.
