Hi George + Brian,
I attach my completed recap of Worsley's sight for Longitude, demonstrating substantial agreement with his Chronometer Error of 11 minutes 55 seconds, at least to within 4.6 seconds.
My analysis is based on an assumption that his DLo of 1 minute + 4 seconds is to be read as time units as opposed to arc.
Further will follow.
Regards,
Henry
