The Ageton table was designed to solve the split spherical triangle using log secants and log cosecants multiplied by 100,000. This same Ageton table can be used to solve the classic spherical triangle by substituting log cosecant for log sine and log secant for log cosine. The benefit will be the simplification of summed logs. The Ageton table lists log cosecant in column A and log secants in column B. Example SR attached.
