Why create a page like this, when there is practically nothing on it? Why not write the page BEFORE creating it, so as not to create a poor page? J Milburn 18:25, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Improvements:

  • Add reference material to Argo clock. Particularly focus on the Dreadnaught project's material. Absolutely superb.
  • Also include Dreyer Table material. At least mention controversy between Pollen Clock and Dreyer Table.
  • Double check comment made on clocks. I am references that state the Dreyer clock did not correct the bearing prediction for range. I do not have that same information for the Argo clock.
  • Figure 2 and Figure 4 are not sized properly. Check how the PNG was generated.
  • In reference to linear approximation for time of flight, include the quote.
  • Add discussion on the use of trial and error, coupled with numerical derivatives, to refine target course and speed information.
  • Clarify how the sign of the velocity vectors is defined.
  • Change reference to MIT paper on Ford to a web reference so that direct quotes can be included.
