Don--O
Might be greater but not as constant (G) You're right Buddy, On my first reply I mentioned most of the thing that would affect DRIFT but I threw in an Etc to not let the Cat out of the bag. Let's remember, Bart asked FOR THE NAME of the vector, not what caused it. Wally called it Leeway. Not wrong but incomplete. You called it Tidal Drift (I think) Not wrong but again incomplete Hey guys, the biggest Navi. Goof in history was made because of the Global Curve. Chris Columbus thought he was in China because he had no idea how much larger the Earth was at the equator. His distance for a degree in nautical miles was half the distance in Europe than at the middle. He was just lucky as hell he found land by degrees where he did. He thought that he had covered the unknown piece of the globe with his "Chip Log" He assumed the World was round but the unknown was the rest off the shape. That was still a question mark. Ole Thom |
