GRAPHICAL COMBINATION OF SIGHTS (SIMULTANEOUS OBSERVATIONS AND STAGGERED PROBLEMS)
 
GRAPHICALCOMBINATION OF SIGHTS
Graphical combinaton of sighs means heconsructon of a small par of a Mercaor Charo scale, plong herein he resuls of wo ormore asronomical sighs and hence obaininghe positon of he vessel.The Mercaor Char has been described before. However, a few imporan poins areemphasized here.

GRAPHICALCOMBINATION OF SIGHTS
On a Mercaor Char,1)All meridians are parallel.2)A nautcal mile is equal o one minue of d’la.3)All Norh-Souh disances, in nautcal miles, are equal o minues of d’la.4)All disances, wheher Norh-Souh, Eas-Wes or oblique, are in expressed in nautcal miles.5)The Eas-Wes disance beween he meridians of wo places, measured along he latude is called deparure and is expressed in nautcal miles. 6)The Eas-Wes disance beween he meridians of wo places, measured along he longiude scale= d’long beween hem.

The conversion of dep ino d’long, and vice versa, byformula and by Traverse Tables, has been explainedearlier in his book. Plong can be done on plain paper-graph paper isno essental. The scale should be clearly mentoned.The mos convenien scales o use are 1 cm: 1M or 1inch: 1 M. Where practcable, scales involving fractonsshould be avoided so as o minimize he chances of error especially when in a hurry.
