Is there a need to make the math easier? This is what we have microprocessors for. Thanks for the "hanging bridge" explanation. It would be nice if someone had a time-nuts-glossary that included various terms that come up on the list, like "hanging bridge", "spurs", "sawtooth correction", "GPS allan ski jump", etc. Is there a time-nuts FAQ? _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
