H.O. 218 comes with some auxiliary tables that I have not seen anywhere else. Table II is a conversion angle table that covers radio bearings from transmitters on both sides of the equator while table 1 in Bowditch only covers situations where the transmitter is on the same side of the equator as the receiver.
Table V is a nice little table that shows the extra mileage for a rhumb line compared to a great circle course.
I have attached these interesting auxiliary tables from the 30-34 degree volume.
