    Re the expensive book.

    I bought the NMM Greenwich book “finding longitude” last year for about £12. Not sure how this compares with the “Ship, clocks and stars?” Haven’t seen that.

    The exhibition in Greenwich last year was good. Glad to hear you are getting a look at some of it in DC.

    By the way, if anyone is going to Washington to see this as has time to visit the Smithsonian while you are there, then I would very much appreciate a photograph of the only known Brown-Nassau Spherical computer, especially the “far side or dark side” (Vernias B and Y). See my earlier posts on my home made version.
