I don´t have this paper. But I would be very pleased if someone could send me a copy.
Other paper abaut the subjet is: Kaplan, G. H. (1995). Practical Sailing Formulas for Rhumb-Line Tracks on an Oblate Earth, Navigation, Vol. 42, No. 2, pp. 313-326. Available in de IoN´s CD
For example, comparing the results for a Lat2, Lon2 calculation:
| B1 | L1 | R | D | B2 | L2 | |
| WGS84 Rhumb Line | 40 | 0 | 255 | 5000 | 18.4317 | -92.8253 |
| Mid Latitude | 40 | 0 | 255 | 5000 | 18.4317 | -92.2262 |
| Kaplan | 40 | 0 | 255 | 5000 | 18.3785 | -92.8673 |
| GC | 40 | 0 | 255 | 5000 | -7.025 | -75.1615 |
| Geodesic | 40 | 0 | 255 | 5000 | -7.131 | -75.0313 |

Would anyone have a copy of The Journal of Navigation (British) Volume 49, published in 1963 or 1964? Apparently it contains an article entitled "Practical Rhumb Line Calculations on the Spheroid" by GG Bennett, including numerical examples. The author no longer has a copy and would be grateful for a scan of such.
