    Re: Nautical almanac questions
    From: Adrian F

    There is a reference to the co-operation on Astronomical Ephemerides during World War 2 in each of the two papers below, though both those references are much less detailed than the abstract in English of the Heidelberg book that Wolfgang Köberer and David Pike have highlighted.

    Regards

    Adrian F
