Willem Piccer wrote- At the moment I am having a closer look at the Brouscon circular tidal diagrams. To use them is, as far as I can see, not so difficult but what I want to know is how he constructed these tide tables. For an explanation I went looking on the internet but cannot find a good explanation on how he did it. However I found an instruction/ explanation on these circular diagrams in a pdf file. For some reason this pdf file cannot be printed I don't know how it works for other people but if I want to study something I only can do it in from a printed paper and not just from a computer screen Is there on this list may-be somebody who could help me to understand better how Brouscon constructed his tidetables? I sent the German pdf file as an attachment and wonder if there is a ( legal) way to print this ==================== I for one, have never even heard of the Brouscon circular tidal diagram. I am interested in learning about it. The pdf file wasn't attached to the email message as I received, but if in German, it wouldn't have helped me much anyway. As for "I want to study something I only can do it in from a printed paper and not just from a computer screen" - Willem, I know that feeling well. For one thing, you can scribble comments and notes in the margins.
