I had a chance over the weekend to get back to my statistics
package and follow up Fer de Vries' sharp-eyed observation that the
problem with my plotting of the locus of the intersection of bifilar
threads was that the software had used different scales for X and Y
axes. Of course! Fer was right. I've now made them as equal as I can
by estimation, and as the attached figure indicates, the hour angles are
now equal. Thank you, Fer!
I also checked my 'second question' and think it was a transcribing
error...
best wishes,
Peter
