Hi all,

After rereading my last post, I did not wish to insult anyone by
implying  that C=2(pi)r was complex for them.  But that formula and
Tan HA = Sin L x Tan t,  are complex if we wish to draw school age
children into dialing.  So - how do we explain that math to school
children?  Must we do so?  What can be done in dialling that is
understandable with grade school math?  I liked Mac Oglesby's solar
plane dials because he put a lot of effort into reducing the math - not
an easy task.  Are constructions one way to go?  I think so.
