To all, I have completed downloading and chronologically arranging by intended year of use copies of The American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac for the years 1855 through 1920, all inclusive. Anyone desiring a copy of this publication for any year within the range indicated may email me off list and I shall be pleased to forward the same - each file running between about 20 and 30 MB. I am currently working on a similar downloading of the British counterpart to the American and have completed about 60 downloads, commencing with 1767. I fully realize that these pubs are generally available on the internet, however, have found them to be inconsistently or even erroneously identified, generally by year of publication as opposed to year of intended of use. When working with old texts or logbooks, I now have the relevant Almanac immediately at hand - it works for me. Regards, Henry |
