Σελίδα 299 - Northern hemisphere ; and what effect has it on the assumed position of the ship when she is steering on Northerly, and also on Southerly courses ? 17. The effect being as you state, on what courses would you keep away, and on what courses would you keep closer to the wind, in order to make good a given Compass course ? 18.
Σελίδα 308 - ... 16. State to which side of the ship, in the majority of cases, is the North point of the Compass drawn in the Northern hemisphere ; and what effect has it on the assumed position of the Ship when she is steering on Northerly, and also on Southerly courses ? 17.
Σελίδα 28 - The angle between the first and last directions of a ray which has suffered two reflections in one plane is equal to twice the inclination of the reflecting surfaces to each other. Let AB be the limb or graduated . arc, of a portion of a circle 60° in extent, but divided into 120 equal parts. On the radius CB let a silvered plane glass D be fixed, at right angles to the plane of the circle, and on the moveable radius CE let another such silvered glass, C, be fixed.
Σελίδα 44 - We have, then, that the sine of an angle is equal to the cosine of its complement, and conversely.
