Like I said - I knew things were different in Canada.




Canadians made all those projections. You can tell because all of them
make Canada look BIGGER than the rest of us....

I thought it was latitude but could be longitude, but I do remember that
the diameter of the earth at the equator in in knots is equal to 360 X 60.

A Knot is a unit of speed, not distance, and the distance you are
calculating would be the circumference, not the diameter.

The circumference of the earth at the equator is approximately 360 x
60 nautical miles.

Isn't KPS "Knots per Hour" = "Knots"?


Knots per hour, would be a unit of acceleration because "knots" means
"nautical miles per hour". Knots per hour = "nautical miles per hour per
hour". We sailors only DREAM of acceleration....(c;

Larry

You can use knots per hour to measure deceleration, too... :-)
(or should it be furlongs per fortnight? I always started the engine
when the Loran-gave an ETE of 99 hours.)

Is that the one my Pappy sold your Pappy?

And it still works? Bloody good bridge!
