Cape Belsham

Brad,

I suggest this change in thread name because there seems to be a confusing entanglement between two distinct questions

Where did Worsley get the position of Cape Belsham from?
What tables did Worsley have with him to reduce time sights, calculate DR etc. and that he seems to refer to as "the epitome"?

The possibility of a "single erroneous digit in the sixth place of a logarithm" that Frank mentions relates to the second on these only.

I may have missed something from much earlier investigations but is there any evidence at all that Worsley obtained the position from the volume he refers to as "the epitome"?

Regards,

Robin
