A New Suncompass: Orientation Independent of Clock Time
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 October 2009
Abstract
In situations where the use of a magnetic compass has disadvantages, it is sometimes possible to use successfully a suncompass. All known suncompasses use the clock time. This paper introduces a method of orientation which does not use clock time and which surpasses the accuracy and usefulness of the Cole suncompass.
