Transcription Notes:
Transcribed and best viewed in full journal page above full across the page transcription box mode.
I have used unicode for "sun" symbol [?], and unicode for "degree symbol" [?]. Tried for the most part to align related times, bearings and sums, using a typed line where possible instead of the more confusing [[underlined]] SI style for obvious mathematics.
