Ken, you wrote: "We would work the sight out, and to our surprise, they were never more than 3 or 4 miles off. For a long time after that, I would note sun squash while driving cross country, and work the sight upon return, with the same apparent accuracy." Wow. 3 or 4 miles?? I find that hard to understand. Not that it's not true, but if it is, it implies a rather impressive ability to detect squashedness! -FER 42.0N 87.7W, or 41.4N 72.1W. www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
