    I have always thought of Maskelyne as a giant of a man.  Devising and
    organising the calculation by hand of the Nautical Almanac to be a usable
    tool for navigators seems to me a supreme achievement.
    
    He produced and made available to all a working device.  For all Harrison's
    genius it took others to make chronometers equally available to all.
