Capt AG Blance (Editor)This famous set of mathematical tables was first published in 1803. It has been a bestseller ever since, and despite developments in electronic navigation it remains an essential requirement for anyone learning and practising astro-navigation. Last updated in 1994, the editor, George Blance, has worked for some time on the modernisation of all the tables for this major new edition. New tables have been included, obsolete ones deleted to conform with changing techniques of navigation, with the aim of improving the accuracy of the calculated position and reducing the tedium of the calculation. All the tables required for coastal and deep sea navigation are included. A simple uniform method of interpolation for all the trigonometrical tables is used. Certain tables and data are also included which are not readily available on board ship or are only used in the examination room. A4, 600pp, hardback.

Almanacs give full tide tables for standard ports (such as Dover) and secondary port differences to enable times and heights to be calculated. This simple graphic method shows how easy Secondary Port calculations can be. Side one explains how the information that you need is laid out and what that information means. It then shows a worked example of Time Differences and side two has a worked example of Height Differences.Side two also has plenty of space for your own calculations.A4 laminated sheet
