16Nov 01 1893The positions noted above were, in most instances, copied from cards furnished from the computing rooms. In one case, at least, the Dec. given on the card was not copied to the nearest tenth of a degree, and was consequently one tenth out. W.P.G.
16Nov 01 1893To lessen the liability to errors of the kind above described, I would suggest that all declinations on cards should be given in degrees and tenths, instead of degrees and minutes. W.P.G.
