Hi Henry, Blue Azimuth Tables are HO 120 formerly HO 261 circa 1940 which I have a copy.

There were enough such tables printed at one time to satisfy most any taste and to establish an entirely new List devoted solely to The Azimuth.. To name but a few from memory, they included > The Red Azimith Tables (HO 71) + expanded volume for artic use > The Blue Azimuth Tables (HO ?) which extended the above for higher declinations > Cugles Two Minute Azimuth Tables which were popular in the US MM during WWII > Lecky's ABC Tables > Burwood's Tables > Most all short tabular methods as a bi-product of the intercept solution, except Martelli's original tables for the Time Sight solution > The English, Germans, Spanish, and Italians all published their own tables in varied formats > Pure trigonometrical solutions were also used as a bi-product of the Time Sight and Marc St Hillaire intercept method, and in many circumstances proved the most expedient, although many would use a separate set of tables to calculate the azimuth - why, I could never imagine. > Regards, > Henry --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
