Hi Peter,
I copied and pasted the link into my web browser. But make sure you also
copy/past the 2nd line.

Good afternoon Frank,
Although I failed statistics as an undergraduate, I later became fairly good
at it when I was involved in research. My memory seems to recall that the
minimum number of samples for a reasonable approximation of a normal
distribution was in the low twenties. But as I haven
Hi Miguel,
I've just succeeded! The URL works with Internet Explorer, but not
with Firefox.
A very useful and visually striking version of the EoT. Thank you.

Hi Miguel,
Your EOT diagram is good. I like how you can count the minutes to add or
subtract. Do you have one that is in English?

I do not know the answer to this question:
Looking at the intersections of the EoT and Mean Time curves in M.
Garcia's diagram, is there any reason to conclude that the area of the
intersections outside the mean time curve must equal the area of the
intersections inside the mean time curve? T

Dear Frank,
To add to Kevin's reply I have a contact at Greenwich Observatory who replied
to my amazement that there were that many chronometers on board, and said:
Dear Doug,
Yes there were that many, not all were government, if I remember properly 5
were Fitzroy's own, 2 were loaned by makers
Fitzroy was the geek of his time - he was rich enough to own 22 chronometers
and he was interested in everything - (especially meteorology - hence the
Shipping weather forecast zone called after his name and the Fitzroy Storm
Glass) A 'normal' naval ship in those days carried three chronometers
During Darwin's famous voyage aboard the "Beagle", Captain Fitzroy had
22 chronometers aboard, no doubt to obtain accurate longitudes. This
seems pretty excessive and I'm wondering how many (or few) chronometers
would have reduced his time errors to an acceptable level. Any thoughts?

Dear Kevin,
I was interested in your comments on EoT.
I agree that the kidney curve is not very
pretty. You would be happier if we could
go back to the year 1246 when the analemma
had mirror symmetry about its long axis.
This would tidy up the kidney a little!
You say...
