Hey, great going. Looks like with Weems' sec/csc tables in The Secant Time Sight book (Public Domain, according to Google Books site) and the formulas in the lower right of figure 1 you have what you need to compute an LOP. Also looks like the formulas should be easy to restate into cos/sin for slide rules. Will check this out later.

Makes the $13.50 just for Precomp look somewhat expensive.I don't remember where I got my copy from - perhaps through the RIN, and I'm sure it wasn't $50 at the time.John > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > NavList message boards and member settings: www.fer3.com/NavList > Members may optionally receive posts by email. > To cancel email delivery, send a message to NoMail[at]fer3.com > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > > Attached File: http://fer3.com/arc/img/121454.precomp_0001.jpg > > Attached File: http://fer3.com/arc/img/121454.precomp_0002.jpg > > Attached File: http://fer3.com/arc/img/121454.precomp_0003.jpg > > Attached File: http://fer3.com/arc/img/121454.precomp_0004.jpg > > > : http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx?i=121454 > >
