Hey, try going the other way on precision and use a Kuffel & Esser 4080-3 Log Log Duplex slide rule which has the trig scales in degrees and minutes. It's a thing of beauty..

Re: [NavList 2786] Tables of Trig Functions and Logs of Trig Functions Try tables IIA (log sin and log tan: 0 deg to 1 deg 20 min), IIB (log cos and log sin: 0 deg to 1 deg 20 min and 88 deg 40 min to 90 deg), and IIC log sin, log tan, log cot, log cos: 1 deg to 10 deg in “Chambers Shorter Six-Figure Mathematical Tables” by L.J. Comrie (1961). Tabulated at intervals of 10 secs for angles below 10 degrees with PPs for interpolation.

Subject: [NavList 2786] Tables of Trig Functions and Logs of Trig Functions
I am looking for a set of tables which provides trig functions and logs of trig functions down to the 10th of a minute of arc. Is anyone aware of any publications that provide this?
Thanks
Robert
