Thanks for the Institute of Navigation paper Gary. Most interesting. I have a couple of questions:- Particularly interesting is that the error frequency curve was so far from being a Gaussian that the usual Gaussian statistics could not be used. Was this "poor experimental design" or was this reality? How do you find your position by "taut wire and cable run"? Thanks again Gary Geoffrey
