Gary you use transverse tables with a chart. It's a table giving
relative values of various parts of plane right triangles, for use in
solving such angles.

Whatever. I knew what he meant, it's just a table of
multipliers for traveling at angles... if you know how to
use sine & cosine, you don't need it. A holdover from the
days of Columbus when mathematics was considered a "black art."

G I think the only time I ever used these tables was during license
exams, and to be honest, I had to check to confirm it was "traverse" not
"transverse".
In it's day, however, it was a nice shortcut.
