This would be the same formula that calculates the length of the bannister on a spiral staircase. That calculation I found last year in a staircase problem from the web. Ill look again tonight and if no one has responded, will send the formulae tomorrow. Jere Blackwelder, VP Sales Gen. Mgr

Does anyone know how to figure the length of a spiral line, given only the width between the lines and the diameter. or the radii of the circle I think this is underspecified; what spiral? Do you have a formula for the curve? Jim === He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder.

Hello All, Jorge sends us the equation for determining the mean obliquity of the ecliptic as given in Astronomical Algorithms, J Meeus, [21.2]. A more accurate equation is given in [21.3]. Also, to determine the true obliquity, the nutation in obliquity must be incorporated. The
