So that when BIH was eventually created and given the opportunity to solve the problem that Janssen had metioned and Newcomb had recognized, the French got to say where the International Meridian now is (and it doesn't pass through the Airy transit in Greenwich).
I remember this coming up before, but can't find the thread. Pointer to the details? (Or brief briefing?) We made the pilgrimage to Greenwich on Sunday. Harrison's clocks lived up to their hype. Fitzpatrick brought his GPS, which read zero near the gift shop (W of Airy).
A busker told the story of the place where time and space begins. It would be a shame if neither was true any more.
