George, you wrote: "Indeed, the Eastern end of the image, magnified from the diagram in the original paper, was missing from that posting, Navlist 3148, just as Frank said. Sorry about that. All I can say is that the intention, at the time, was to send the whole picture, even if it didn't work out that way." Thank you for the apology. Don't worry about it at all. As I said, I was sure you didn't intend to do it, and the original article, which you supplied to the list, showed the two crosses, so it was not a problem. To me, it's more important that W.E. May indicated this important difference in longitude with such a very small pair of marks on his map. I'll get into that in more detail in a later post (hopefully tomorrow). -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
