Copyrighted 1891 BY BiSSELL & SCRIVENS. PREFACE. It is probably not apprehended bv more than a very few, that in the recent adoption of '^ Standard Time," we have the greatest aid to navigation, on the coast and lakes, that could by any means have been devised. The experienced seaman knows that ^^ direction" is the ulti- mate object of all the labored astronomical observations by navigators at sea, and that a knowledge of ''place" is precedent to that of 'direction." The determination of place is the office of nautical astronomy, which question alone not infrequently draws largely upon the highest powers of the trained mathematician and astronomer. But, fortunately, we are relieved of nautical work on the lakes. ^'The U. S. Lake Survey" has determined the co-ordinates of place for all the light-houses on the whole chain of lakes, and every ship-master on those waters is furnished with the results of this survey, in the ''List of Lights of the Northern Lakes and Rivers," for the asking. And as the '* standard time," now available in nearly every town in the United States, to the fraction of a minute, relieves us of the "chronometer," as used at sea, we have only our "lead" and "log" and "compass," to look after, but which, as we will find, will give us something to do, for the rapid growth in the magnitude of our vessels, result- ing from the enormous growth in the volume of our commerce, make it imperative that those who are to have the care and navigation of them, keep pace in technical and scientific attain- ment with those who design and build them. IV. PREFACE. Accordingly, to help in this matter, I have prepared the following Manual of Xavigation for the Lakes* Among those features that may be considered novel, are the articles on the Dumb Compass, with its application to the finding of compass errors; also a method of deducing a table of Time Azimuths of the Sun, from an amplitude when the latitude and the declination are of the same name. This table is available for from one to three hours, requiring but ordinary arithmetical knowledge on the part of the ship-master. With the admirable charts in use, and with a precise knowledge of the place of every light, the finding of compass errors is the one problem that suffices for the navigation of the lakes. The custom of compensating deviation by means of magnets, is becoming general, the idea being that a needle brought to its place, will remain there indefinitely, and that when it is right on the cardinal points, it is also right on all other points. But this is a sorry mistake. All compasses, are in error, in some parts of the card, even after the most careful adjustment. The faces that give position to the needle are so many, and so mutable, that it is not safe to depend on the adjustment for more than a short time, particularly in a new vessel. The remedy lies in adjusting the ship-master. To attain a confidence in his compass, a living confidence, born of certainty, to meet the growing responsibility laid upon him, the ship-master must be educated up to a full understanding of this question. This subject is not, as too often thought, beyond the reach of very moderate attainments, any more than is book-keeping, telegraphy, or photography. The diligent application that masters the one, will master the other. Accordingly, I have dwelt on this topic at some length, giving a number of methods of finding compass errors, including that by time azimuths of the sun, which, though costing perhaps a little more time to master, will in the end be found the most efficient and satisfactory of all the methods in use. . PREFACE. V. It is believed that among the several methods given, of finding compass errors, any ship-master of fair capacity will find some method that he can readily master, so as to utilize it. The article on the ''correction," or compensation of ship's compasses, is based on the method taught by such scientists as Prof. G. B. Airy, Astronomer Royal; Frederick J. Evans, and Archibald Smith, of the Liverpool Compass Committee. While I cannot claim this little work to be free from fault or imperfection, I yet have a confidence that it will be found of sufficient merit to claim respectful consideration from those inter- ested in the maritime affairs of the lakes, and to be particularly helpful to the young student of navigation, in which last event, my highest ambition will have been gratified.

Signs and Symbols. — The student not already acquainted with algebraic notation, should make himself familiar with the follow- ing Signs and Symbols, which are among the many used in mathematical language: = This is the sign of equality; it implies tJiat the quantities between which it is used are equal, as 12 inches=:l foot, 3 miles =^1 league, etc. + This is called the plus sign, implying an increase or addition, as 7+3=10. - This is called the minus sign, implying diminution or sub- traction, as 7 — S^=4:, The plus and minus signs are also used to imply relative direc- tion, as to the right or left, up or down, heat or cold, forward or backward, etc. X This is the sign of multiplication, signifying that the quantities between which it is written are to be multiplied together, as 4Xo=20. -T- This is the sign of diyision, implying that the number prced- ing it is to be divided by that one foUow^ing, as 9-^3^=3. i ) ] h [ ] These are called brackets. Their use is to indicate that the quantities embraced within them are to be considered as one quantity, thus, 5 (5+3)— 6 (3+2)==10. This is another form of bracket, and called a yinculum or bar, and is used when two or more quantities already connected A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. by brackets, are to be regarded as one quantity, as 5 (5-|-3)— 6 (5^^)-^5 (8— 6)--2=5. : :: : These are the signs of proportion. They are a modifica- tion of the signs of division ^-, and equality ^, and may be written thus, -^ = h-. They signify that the first term divided by the second=the third term divided by the fourth. Quantities having this relation are called proportional quantities or numbers, as 4: 8:: 3: 6,, or better, 4-T-8=3-r-6=J. The value in this case, J, is called the ratio of the proportion. A power of a number is indicated by a small figure above and to the right of the number, thus, 42=16 indicates that the number 4 is used twice as a factor. 4^^64. A root is indicated by the symbol ;/, which alone implies the second or square root. . A small figure written over the symbol, thus, ,/, implies the degree of the root, thus, ,/64=4. Symbols of CJuantity. — To abreviate mathematical investiga- tions, quantities or numbers are represented by some symbol, as a letter, — usually the initials of the quantity; and the symbols of operation already explained, aj^ply to them the same as to the numerical quantities. Lines are separated by letters at different points in their extent, usually at their extremities. Thus, the line between the points A B is called the line AB. Angles are defined by giving one letter in each of the lines containing tlie angle, together with the letter at their intersection, thus, the angle between the two lines ^"^^^1^^==^^ AB and BC, is written ABC, the middle letter indicating the angular point. Numerals are represented by single letters, the leading letters of the alphabet representing known quantities and the final letters . unknown quantities. The use of an equation is, generally, to bring out the value of some unknown quantity, which is the object of inquiry, and which is involved in the equation. Thus, in a proportion, one of the terms is usually an unknown or required quantity represented by one of the terminal letters (usually x) of the alphabet, as A:B::C:X. From this, by the principle well known in arithmetic, that the product of the extremes equals the product of the means, we have, AX=:BC, in which X is the quantity desired. TRIGONOMETRY. 6 Then, frOm the well known axiom, that wc may multiply or divide equal quantities by the same number without destroying the equality between those quantities, we may divide both sides of this equation by the factor, when we have the equation, X=BC^A, in which the quantity represented by X is equal to the product of the two quantities B and C divided by the quantity or factor A. This operation is called solving the equation for X, and the expression, X=BC^-A, is called a formula. Alg'ebraic Addition is the aggregation into one sum, of quan- tities affected by the opposite signs of -}-j — ? or plus and minus. Thus, if a man has ^100 in bank to his credit, or -{-, and he has bills payable, — , ^90, his estate is only $10 — that is to say, the sum of Dr. and Cr. sides of his % is + f'lOj the two signs can- celling each other to the extent of the smaller number. Algebraic Difference is found by changing the sign of the quantity to be subtracted, then combining the quantities as in addition. Example: The difference of latitude between 10° X. and 5° S., or +10° and — 5°=_15°. By changing either sign, both terms become ^^like," i. e.j both -f- or both — , and they come together by addition, so that we may have +15° or — 15° as the difference of latitude of the two places. Trigonometry is that branch of geometry that treats of the relations of the sides and the angles of triangles, both plane and spherical. In this work, only plane triangles will be considered. In all the wide range of mathematical science, there is, perhaps, no one branch so generally useful or of so wide an application in general affairs of life, as trigonometry. To the navigator, the astronomer, surveyor, geographer and the civil engineer, it is simply indispensible. Xatural philosophy, mechanics, optics and geology could not be treated without this branch of mathematics. It is hoped the little I may introduce of the subject, and which is as little as we can do with, will induce the student not already familiar with it, to pursue it further in some of the many excel- lent standard works on that science. Whatever we may give of trigonometry, we shall treat without the use of logarithms, — the object being to make the subject as elementary as possible. 4 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. There are two kinds of magnitude considered in triangles, viz., au^les and sides or lines. For the purpose of measuring angles, a circle is introduced. The circumference of this circle is supposed to be divided into 360 equal parts, called degrees; these are further divided into 60 equal parts, called minutes; and these, again, into 60 equal parts called seconds. The degrees are indicated by a small circle ° over and to the right of the figure; minutes by a dash ^, and seconds by two dashes ^^ above and to the right of the number of minutes or seconds. Thus, 15 degrees, 28 minutes and 46 seconds would be written, 15°, 28^, W, etc. A degree or a minute, then, is not a magnitude of length, but merely a certain part of the whole circumference, without regard to lineal dimensions; it is merely ratio. In measuring an angle, the center of the measuring circle is located at the intersection of the two lines that contain the angle to be measured. The arc intercepted by the two lines is the measure of the angle. But, as degrees, etc., and lines are of different kinds of mag- nitude, they cannot be directly compared. Moreover, the mag- nitude of an angle does not vary with the size of the triangle. So, to make these elements comparable, auxilliary lilies have been introduced in and about the arc to be measured, or considered, in such a manner as to make them depend not only on the magnitude of the arc, but on that of the triangle to be considered. These auxilliary lines are called fuiictioiis of the arc, and have received different names according to the different positions or relations they have to the arc. Names of the Functions. These are eight in number, as follows (see Fig, 1): In the triangle ADC, let the arc AB be the measure of the angle ACD. Then (1) the Sine is the perpendicular BG drawn from one extremity, B, of the arc, to a diameter or radius drawn through the other extremity of the arc. (2). The Tangent, AD, is drawn perpendicular to the diameter through one end of the arc, to meet a line drawn from the center of the circle through the other end of the arc, as at D. (3). The Secant, CD, is a right line from the center through one end of the arc, to meet the tangent, as in D. TRIGONOMETRY. (4). The Cosine, CG, is that part of the radius intercepted between the foot of the sine and the angular point C. (5). Tlie Tersine, AO, is that part of the radius intercepted between the foot of the sine and the extremity of the arc, or the foot of the tangent. The Compliment of an arc or angle is what the angle lacks of being a full quadrant, or 90°. Thus, the angle ACE, being a right angle or 90°, the arc BE is the compliment of the arc AB. The prefix ^'co'^ being used to show that the function before which it is used pertains to the compliment of the arc under consideration. Thus: (6). The Co-Tangent, EF, is the tangent of the compliment of the arc AB. (7). The Co-Secant, CF, is the secant of the compliment of the arc AB. (8). The Co-Yersed Sine, E H, is the versed sine of the arc AB. The Supplement of an [ arc or angle, is what the arc lacks of 180°. Thus, the arc BCI, embracing the angle DCI, is the sup- plement of the arc AB. And it has the same sine BG as the arc AB. The Sine and Cosine connect the two arcs AB and BE, so that when one is known the other is also known, for it will be observed that the sine of one of the arcs is the cosine of the other. The student will observe that the sine and tangent of an angle are always opposite the angle. Relations Between the Parts of a Triangle. — It is shown in geometry that the sum of the two acute angles of a right plane triangle is equal to two right angles, so that when one of the two is known the other is also known. The Radius is any right line drawn from the center to the cir- cumference of the circle. The radius diminished by cosine is Fig. 1. 6 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. yersiue (see AG in Fig. 1), and diminished by sine, is CO- versine, EII. In tables of trigonometrical functions, radius being unity, all the internal functions, as sine, cosine, etc., are decimal fractions, as also the tangents of arcs less than 45°, and the co-tangents of arcs greater than 45°. This is more particularly shown in the following table of the Limits of Trigonometrical Functions : — Let AB be any arc (see Fig. 1) varying from at B to 90° at E; then when AB=^0, the sine=0, the versine^O and cosine=:l, ^^ tan.=0, " secant=l and cotan.=infinity, AB=90°, the sine^l, the versine=l and cosine=0. the tan.=infinity, the secant=infinity and cotan.=:0. AB=45°, the tan.=l and cotan.:=L AB=60°, " cosine=J and versine=^. The student should make himself familiar with this table, so that he can tell the limits of any function on hearing it called. He should also observe the effect of any change in the arc AB. Thus, if AB be increased, the radius remaining the same, then all the primitive or direct functions will be increased, while the co-functions will be diminished. Again, if the radius AC be increased, the angle or arc BA remaining the same, then all the functions will be increased in the same proportion. Thus it is seen that no change can be made in the magnitude of the angle or in the radius of the measuring circle, without a cor- responding change in the value of all these auxilliary lines. So it is the introduction of these lines that has brought the solution of triangles within the pale of arithmetic. The two sides containing the right angle are called the legs. Sometimes base and perpendicular. But any side may be made the radius, i. e., the side by which the others are measured, when the other sides take names according to their relation to the angles of the triangle: Thus, in the following triangle, ABC, if BC is made the unit for measuring the other sides, then AB is sine and AC is the cosine of angle C. Again, if in Fig. 3, AC be made the radius, or measuring unit, then AB becomes the tangent and BC the secant of angle C. Or if, as in Fig. 4, the perpendicular AB be made radius, then the base AC becomes tangent and BC the secant of the angle B. The student should make himself familiar with these changes. TKIGONOMETRY. Fig. 2. Fis:. 3. The relations existing between the functions of arcs, are those resulting from the comparison of similar triangles, and consist of equality of ratios, which is a fundamental principle of trig- onometry. Thus, in Fig. 5, the triangles ABC and A^B^CS having their sides opposite the equal angles A, A ^ ; B, B^, etc., parallel, are similar. Also the triangles ABC and A^ B^E (Fig. 6), and ADE of same Fig., having their "like" sideS parallel, are all similar triangles. " Like Sides '' are those that are opposite equal angles. They are also called homologous sides; thus, BC and DE, Fig. 6, are homologous sides, being opposite the angle A, with the sides BC and DE parallel. Again, the sides AD, A^B^, being parallel, and opposite the same angle E, are homologous. The ratios of these homologous sides is the same between any two *'like'* sides of similar triangles, i. e., triangles be divided or measured by a triangle, the quotient will be the same as that of any other side in the same triangle, measured by its corresponding ''like'' in the other. This relation for a right triangle is expressed thus, for any angle, as ACB BC AC AB DE AE AD Cosine Sine R Fi-. 4. if any side of one of the 'like" side in the other Fig. 5. R Tan. Secant C These relations are the foundation of the several rules for the solution of right triangles, and w^hen stated in the Fig. 6. 8 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOIl THP: LAKES. form of a proposition, are as follows : Cos.: R:: Sin.: Tan. I Sin.: Cos.:: H: Cotan. ::K:Sec. j ::R:Cosec. Here, it will be seen, are five quantities besides the right angle, — three sides and two angles — any three of which being given, — one being a side, — the other two may be found. Hence, In a right angled triangle, — the two acute angles being compli- ments of each other, — there are only four parts to be con- sidered, viz., three sides and one angle. Some two of the six ratios of the preceding article will always contain the two given quantities and the required quantity, And we have the four following cases, viz.: (I). Given, the Hypothenuse and An- gles, to find the two sides containing the right angle. (II). Given, the Hypothenuse and one Side, to find the two angles and the other side. (III). Given, the two Angles and one Fig. 7. Side, to find the hypothenuse and the other side. (lY). Given, the two Sides, to find the angles and the hypoth- enuse. To Solve a Right Triangle, for any of its parts, it is only necessary to select any two of the six ratios that contain the two given elements or parts and the required part of the problem, and arrange them in the form of a proportion, then Solve the proportion precisely as in arithmetic, by multiplying together the extremes and the means of the proportion in two products, and divide both products by the factor that is found connected with the required quantity. Example. Suppose we wish to find the hypothenuse of a right triangle, the angles and one side, — say the perpendicular, — being given. Solution. Let ABC be the tri- ^^' ' angle whose side b is required, — the angles and side AB being given. TKIGONOMETE, Y . It will be found convenient to represent the angles hy the cap- ital letters and the sides by the small letters of the same name as the opposite angle. Making either side, say a, the radius, the given side c is the tangent of the angle C. Also, the required side is the secant of angle C. Thus, our two given parts are R and tan., and the required part is see. of angle C. Then, as in arithmetic, form a proportion, so that the ratio of the functions will form the first couj^let, and that of given and required side the last couplet, thus: Tan. C;Sec. C::c:b. Multiplying extremes and means, as in arithmetic, Tan. Cb=Sec. Cc. Dividing both products by first term, as in arithmetic, Sec. C c b= (1). Tan. C. Again, making b the radius, then, Sin. C : K : : c : b, and, as before. Sin. C b=:Rc, then dividing and K being unity, C b=-— (2). Sin. C. Again, making AB or c the radius, R : Cosec. C : : c : b, or Eb=Cosec. Cc. AVhence, by dividing, and remem- bering that R is unity, wc have, b=Cosec. Cc /o\ =3Sec. A. ^''''* From the above, it will be seen that we may make any side of the triangle the measuring side, but to make the given side, as c, or the re- quired side, as b, in the above ex- Fig. 9. ample, the measuring unit will give the simple solutions, as seen in equations (2) and (3), above. Thus, to find the side BC or a, we would in the same manner have, a==c tan. A, 10 A MANUAT^ OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. or, if we make a the radius, then, c Si= ■ tan. c. In this manner many formulas have been constructed for the solution of right jDlane triangles. From them I have selected a few of the most useful, and which are sufficient for the solution of such questions as are likely to come before the navigator in *' dead reckoning." Preparatory to the solution of practical questions, the student must be informed of some of the Trigonometrical Tables and their uses. Table of the Natural Functions. — These are the Sines, Co- sines, Co-tangents, the Secants and Co-secants, Yersines and Co- versines of arcs varying by one minute, for a whole quadrant. They are called natural functions to distinguish them from the same functions when given by their logarithms. This table gives all the above elements to radius unity, — thus, we have all the three sides and their corresponding angles for 5400 right triangles; and by considering the angles to vary by parts of a minute, as by 10^^ or 20^^ we could readily deduce all the elements for many thousand more triangles. So, having the elements of any proportioned triangle to radius unity, that can come before us in practice, we have only to insti- tute a proportion between the known parts of one triangle and the corresponding parts of the tabular triangle, and reduce the proportion to find the parts desired. These sines, tangents, secants, etc., are arranged in columns, under their rbspective names. The degrees for arcs of less than 45° are found at the top of the page, with the minutes in a column at the left. For arcs greater than 45°, the degrees are found at the foot of the page, with the minutes in a column at the right. (See table II). Let the student look out the following functions. (Our table gives them only to intervals of 5°) : The natural sine of 25°, 40^= .4331 " '' cosine '' " = .9013 '' " tangent '' '' = .4805 " '' cotangent '' '' =2.0809 '' '' secant '' '' =1.1095 TRIGONOMETRY. 11 The natural cosecant af 25°,40^=2.30S7 '' '' sine of 74°, 25^= .9632 " " cosine '' '' == .2686 '« " tangent " " =3.5856 " '' cotangent '' '' = .2789 '« " secant *' '^ =3.7224 '' '' cosecant '' " =1.0382 The equations spoken of in a former article, as being selected for this work, are the following: Formulas for the Angles of a Right Triangle. -, J Sin.

It will be observed that the preceding equations are in pairs, €ach pair finding an angle by a function with its co-function. It will be observed, too, that each angle is found indirectly by i3ome function, as sine, cosine, etc., so that the angle correspoding lo the function must be found from the table of sines, cosines, etc. It will be observed, also, that any function is found by dividing one side by some other side of the triangle, which is for the pur- pose of reducing the sides of the triangle in question, to radius unity, for the purpose of making them comparable with a tabular triangle. It will also be observed, in the second member of each of the equations in the preceding article, that some one side of the tri- 4ingle is divided by some one of the other sides. Then, turning this divisor over to the other member of the equation, as a multiplier, we find a side of the triangle. In this manner we derive the following: Formulas for the Sides of Right Triangles. r at=b cosine C=hypothenuseXcos. C, or sin. A. • \ =c cotan. C=perpendicularXcotan. C, or tan. A. rb=ra sec.

With regard to numerical work, the student, having made himself familiar with the preceding articles, is prepared for the solution of plane riglU triangles, but preparatory to a numerical solution, he should be able to solve them by coii- Jd struction, which involves the use of a Tal)le of Chords of Arcs, or a ^^S' 10« Protractor. — A scale of chords is sometimes engraved on the ordinary drafting scales. But it is to a particular radius given on the scale, — and therefore of but limited use, — moreover, it is not sufficiently precise for good work, though a good protractor w^ill do. By a principle of geometry, the chord of an arc is twice the sine of half the arc. Whence, a table of chords can be con- structed directly from a table of natural sines. Thus, Eequired to find the chord of 26°, 28^. The sine of the half of this arc, or 13°, 14^, is .22892. Twice this decimal, retaining four places of figures, is .4578, which is the chord of 26°, 28"^ to radius unity. (Our tables, varying by 10^, will give the chord for 26°, '30^=.4584). In this manner was the table of chords computed. It is arranged with the degrees at the head of the columns and the minutes in columns at the margin of the page. And it is computed for 90°, varying by 10^ (See table YIII). Thus, the chord of 43°, 10^= .7357 '' '' 60°, 00^=1.0000 '' '' 84°, 40^=1.3469 '' " 4°, 05^= .0713 " " 15^= .0044 TRIGONOMETRY. 13 In using a table of chords for the construction or the measure- ment of angles, the student should have a scale divided decim- ally. Then, by removing the decimal point one or two places to the right, he may have a large scale to set off his decimals with, and thus attain great precision. He will also want compasses for ink and pencil, a T square and triangle or parallel rule. If not already provided with such instru- ments, he should send twenty or thirty cents to some dealer in drawing instruments, for an Illustrated Catalogue. Solution of Plane Triangles.— Examples : 1. Sailed S. 48° W., 126 miles. How far did I sail south, and how far west ? By Construction. Draw a vertical line AB (see Fig. 11) to represent the meridian from which the course is reckoned, A representing the starting point. Look in the table for the chord of 48°, which we find to be .8135 to radius unity. Removing the decimal point one place to the right, we have 8.135 as the chord of 48° to radius 10. Take 10 units to any convenient scale and set them off from A to m. Then take the chord 8.135 to the same scale and set them off from m to n. Through the points A and n, draw an indefinite line, and on it set off the distance AC, 126 miles, to any convenient scale. Through C, draw a line at right angles to the line AB, meeting that line in B. Measure the lines AB and BC by the same scale as that by which AC was set off, and we have the measure desired of the two sides. AB or c=southings=84.31 miles. BC or a==westings==93.63 miles. By Computation. In this problem, it is seen that we have the angles and hypothenuse from which to find the sides a and c, containing the right angle. Fig. 11. 14 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. By reference to the first equation of the third pair of equations, (page 9), we see that the perpendicular c is found by multiplying the hypothenuse b into the cosine of the angle A, adjacent to c, or into the sine of C, the angle opposite, or c=bXcos. (A=48°) =126 X .6691=84.31 miles southings. In the same manner from the first equation of the first pair, we have, a=bXsine (A=48°) =126 X .7431=93.63 miles westings. It will be seen that the numerical work is only indicated here. The student should look the functions from the tables and per- form the multiplication; and he may also construct the angles with a protractor, though the method by ^'chords" should be learned. 2. Example: Sailed due north 146 miles, then due east 76 miles. Required the course and distance back to the place sailed from. By Construction. Draw vertical line on the page to represent the meridian, and set off on it, to any convenient scale, the distance sailed north, 146 miles, C to B. Then turn off a line at right an- gles to the right, and set off on it the distance sailed east, 76 miles, B to A, then join A with C. AC, measured on the same scale, will be the distance required. We are now to find the angles at A and C. We could apply a protractor and read the angle directly from it, but it is better to measure it by means of its chord to some radius — Fig. 12. say 100. Thus, Take 100 in the compass, to any convenient scale, and sweep an arc from the side a to the side b, with C as the center. Also from the side b to the side c produced, from A as a center, sweep the arc m, n, for the purpose of measuring the angle A. The object of measuring or computing both angles is to have a check on our work. The student will soon see abundant reason TRIGONOMETRY. 15 for this in the non-pr.ecision of his first efforts. A and C together should=90°. The chord measuring the angle C to radius 100, will be found =47.5, and that for A=103.7. Kemoving the decimal point, in each case, two places to the left, for the purpose of finding the chord for radius unity, we have for C, .405, and for A, 1.098. Taking these chords to the table for the angles, we find A=62°, 30^ and C=27°, 30^ and A C=164.6. As courses are always measured from the meridian, we must take the compliment of the angle A for our return course, which is S. 27°, 30" W. and distance=164.6 miles. By Computation. In this case we have the two sides contain- ing the right angle to find the angles and the hypothenuse. By equation 2 (page 9), we have. Tan. C^^perpendicular-r-base, =76^146=.5205=tan. (27°, 30^=C). Thus, dividing the perpendicular by the base, we get the tangent of the angle opposite the perpendicular, — in this case, the decimal .5205. Then, looking in the table of natural sines, tangents, etc., we find this decimal in column of tangents, under 27° at the head, and in line of 30^ on the left. One of the two angles being found, we may subtract it from 90° for the other-=62°, 30^ But, as a check, it is better to compute it in the same manner, by the same rule, thus: 146-^-76=31. 92105=tan. (A-=62°, 300- From equation (2) of (page 9), we have, b=a X secant (C-=27°, 30^ =146 X 1.1274=164.6=distance. Examples: 3. Given the hypothenuse 26. The angle at the base=26°, 20''.

He should use a sharp lead pencil, making a line as small as can be clearly seen, and using a needle point for pricking off distances. 16 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. 4.

Angles, 12°, 37^ and 77°, 23^ Let the student find an angle, say the smaller one, from each of the three sides, thus: Hypoth.H-perp.=cot. angle at base=12°, 37^. Perp.H-base=tan. angle at base=:12°, 37^. Hypoth.^-base=sec. angle at base=12°, 37^. Note. — As our tables vary by 5^, the nearest minute given by them for this case will be 12°, 35^, and as our compasses are not graduated to appreciate angles smaller than 1°, the practice of computing, using 5 or 6 place decimals with intervals of V and finding all angles to the nearest V , is simply a waste of time, — accordingly, we have abridged the tables, and thereby the work. Oblique Plane Triang-les. — The solution of oblique plane triangles will require the use of a few formulas different from those required for right plane triangles. TRIGONOMETRY . 17 Fig. 13. Proposition 1. In any plane triangle, the sides are propor- tioned to the sines of the opposite angles. In the oblique triangle ABC, if we make the two sides AC and BC radius, the perpendicular CD is the sine of each of the angles A and B. Then, AC : CD : : K : sin. A, or AC sin. A=E CD. And BC : CD : : K : sin. B, or BC sin. B=E CD. But the second members in each of the above equations are the same, whence the other two are propor- tioned, and we have, AC sin. B=BC sin. B, or AC : BC : : sin. A : sin. B, according to proposition. Solution by the Properties of Ri^ht Triangles,— three €ases. — As all cases of right triangles may be solved by the prop- erties of right triangles, we give no more rules for their direct solution, though a number are known. I. The three parts given may all be adjacent, as when two sides with their included angle are given. In this case, demit a perpendicular from the extremity of the smaller side onto the other side, as from C to D in the triangle ABC. In the right triangle A C D, we have hypothenuse and one side, with the angles from which to find the perpendicular CD, which may be found by equations on page 9, as also may the base A D. In the triangle BCD, subtracting ^^^' -*^^* AD from AB, we have BD. Then, CD having been computed, we have the two sides containing the right angle from which to find the angles. The angles A and B, being now known, we have only to take their sum from 180°. when we have the angle at C, on the principle that the sum of the three angles of any plane triangle is 180°. The side BC remains to be found. We may find it by Prop. 1, just explained, and called the sine proportion, or we may find it 18 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. by means of the equations for the sides of aright triangle, page 9» By the ''sine proportion," the solution is, Sin. B : AC : : Sin. A : BC. (Page 12). II. When the Angles and One Side are Giren. — From one extremity of the given side, demit a perpendicular onto one of the other sides, or onto one of them produced, as from C to D on the side AB produced, of the triangle ABC. (Mark with a dash, — , the given parts). In the right triangle ACD, we have all the angles and the hypothenuse AC given, from which we may find AD and DC^ from rules already explained. Then, in the right triangle DBC, the angle at B is known,, because it is the supplement of B in the oblique triangle ABC, whence both angles of the triangle BDC are known, and DC having been computed, BC can be found from equations, page 9. ,_. Now, AB may be found from the ''sine proportion," Prop. 1, page 12, when the triangle is determined. The proportion for BC is. Sin. B : AC : : Sin. A : BC, and for AB it is. Sin. B : AC : : Sin. C : AB. Thus the case may be solved either by the rules for right triangles or by the sine proportion. III. When the Three Sides are given, to find the Angles* The solution of this will depend on the following: Proposition 2. In any plane triangle, as the greater side : The sum of the other two sides, : : The difference of the other two sides, : The difference of the segments of the greater side made by a perpendicular from the opposite angle. In the triangle ABC, let AB be the greater side. With AC as a radius, and from C as a center, sweep the arc EAF and produce BC to E. Then BE is the sum of the two smaller sides, and BF is their difference. AB is the sum of the two segments of the greater side, made by the perpendicular CD, and BG is their difference. TRIGONOMETRY. 19 Then, because the two lines BA and BE are two secants, cutting the circle and meeting outside the circle, the whole secants and their external segments are inversely proportional, and w^e have the proportion, AB : BE : : BF : BG, which is the proposition. Then, half of this difference added to half the base, or greater side=tlie greater segment. And half this difference sub- tracted from half the base, gives the smaller segment. This being done, the triangle is divided into two right triangles, in each of which the base and hypothenuse are known, from which the angles are determined by the equations on pages 8-9. Example: In the oblique tri- angle ABC, given the three sides, 64, 56, 34, to find the angles. Solution: Demit a perpendic- ular from C onto the greater side ^ ^S- ^^* at D, dividing that into the two segments m and n, then by the last proposition we have, As AB (=m+n)=64 :AC hCB=90 ::AC— CB=22 : m— n=::90X22^64=30.9416. Then, J (m— n)=15.4708, 1 (m+n)=32.0000. Whence, m =47.4708, and n =16.5292. The oblique triangle is now divided into two right triangles, in each of Avhich the base and hypothenuse are given to find the angles, which can be done by means of the equa- tions on page 8. Then, the sum of the angles A and B being taken from 180° before explained, we have angle C. as 20 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. Examples of the three cases of oblique triangles for solution. 1. Given the two sides, 91 and 60, with their included angle, 42°, 30^. Required the other side and the other two angles. Solution: First, by Construction. In the triangle ABC, lay off one side, preferably the longer side AB, to any convenient scale=to the given side, 91. From each point, A and B, sweep an arc on a radius of 10 or 100 units, — say 100, to any convenient scale, for the purpose of measuring the angles at B and C. On the arc opposite A, set off the chord of 42°, 30^, from n to c, and draw the line A c. On this line, set off from A, the dis- tance AC:=60, and join CwithB. Then is the triangle constructed. Measure BC by the same scale, and that side is determined=(61.8). Produce BC to b, and measure the chord mb=^ 70, w^hich corresponds to (40°, 560 for the an- gle at B. Then 180° — (BTC=383°, 260-^(96° 34^)=angle at C. Verify by construct- ing C thus: With the same radius as for the other angles, sweep an arc from C as center and produce, if neces- sary, the CB and CA to it, as at o and p. We find the chord o p greater than the chord of 90, the limit of the table of chords, so we measure the arc in two parts, and find it to be (96°, 34^), as before, or verify with a protractor. By Computation. In the triangle ACD, Ave have the angles and one side (the hypothenuse) to find the other sides. Then multiplying AC by sine of A, we have DC or .6756X60=.(40.54 Fig. 19. =DC). Eq. 3, page 9. And ACX cos. 42°, 300=AD; or .7373X60=(44.24=AD). Eq. 1, page 9. And AB-AD=91— 44.54=(46.76=BD). U^.2^ ^6.7^ TRIGONOMETRY. 21 The angle at B is found by its tangent, by dividing DC by DB, or 40..j4^46.76=(.S670=tan. 40°, oij'). Eq. 2, page 8. The side BC is found by multiplying the side or base BD by sec. of angle at B, or 46.76X1.324=(61.85=BC). Eq. 2, page 9. The angle at C is found by taking the supplement of the sum of the angles A and B, which gives (96°, 34^=C). The student should complete the multiplications indicated in the above computations, looking the functions out of the tables, and he should make careful constructions to scale, of all his prob- lems of triangles, as the geometrical figure will always help to a clear conception of the numerical work required. There are many other theorems for the solution of oblique triangles, but those given are deemed sufficient for all of that class of questions likely to occur. Examples of Oblique Triangles. — 1.

We first hear of it in China, where the needle or 'Moadstone'' was used to give direction, by floating it on a piece of cork, on water. Then we hear of it sus2:>ended at the middle by a string, when the magnetic force of the earth would give it direction. Early in the 14th century, the compass was improved by placing the needle on a '^pivot post;" and in 1608, the Rev. Wm. Barlow further improved it by applying the ^'gimbal joint" to the bowl carrying the needle. But we must consider it as at present con- structed. The Needle is made of steel, hardened and magnetized. It is then surmounted by a card graduated into 32 points, and some- times into quadrants of 90° each, and sometimes into degrees, con- tinuously, from at the north, around by the east, south, west, to 360° at the north. The better class of compasses have two to four needles under the card. Names of the Points. — The line passing through the point on which the needle swings, and the north point of the card, is called the Zero, or Meridian Line, — the intersection of this line with the north part of the card being marked with a ^ 'fleur-de-lis," by way of distinction; the south side being marked by the letter S. The line at right angles to this meridian, is called the '^ Equa- torial," from its analogy to the equator, — its extremities being marked with the initials of the directions they represent, — E for east, and W. for west. The four letters, N., S., E., W., are called the cardinal letters, and the points they represent are called the four Cardinal Points., Sometimes the Equatorial is called the Prime Yertical. THE COMPASS. 23 SubdiTiding" the Card. — The points midway between the car- dinal points are called the Inter-Cardinal Points, sometimes the Quadrantal Points. A quadrantal point takes the name of the two cardinal points between which it lies. Thus, the point midway between the north and east, is called the N. E. point, and so of the other quadrants. In the same manner, the point midway betw^een the cardinal point and a quadrantal point, is indicated by calling the letters between which it lies, — as N., N. E., indicates the point midway between the north and the northeast, and so for the other octants. The remaining sixteen points are found adjacent to the cardinal letters and the quadrantal letters, one on each side of each letter, the adjacency being indicated by the word *^ by." In defining one of those points, the reference letter is first named, then the point immediately to the right or left of the reference letter, as the case may be. Thus, the first point imme- diately to the right of east, is called E. by S.; that to the left of north, N. by W., etc. Thus, the plan of naming the points being understood, the name of any point of the compass is easily brought to mind. The naming of the points of the compass in consecutive order around the card, is called "Boxing the Compass," and the stu- dent should make himself so familiar wath it that he can name them readily in either direction. Reading the Compass Card by Numerals. — In giving the course on which the ship is to be steered, the officer of the deck usually refers the same to the nearest cardinal or quadrantal letter. But in making computations for bearings, or for reduction of course, or the finding of compass errors, reference is always made to the nearest meridian letter, N. or S., and the bearing is reck- vpned in points and parts of a point, or in degrees, toward the east or west, as the case may be. This is made necessary by the fact that all trigonometrical tables used in calculating courses, are arranged in that manner. The student must therefore make himself familiar with reading the card in that manner. Thus, E. by N, would be read, N. 1 p. E. N. E. '' '^ N. 4 p. E. E. JN. " '^ ^r. 7f p. E.,etc. 24 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. The student should also be able to change a course given by its numerical value to its cardinal name. Thus, N. 3 p. E. would be called X, E. by X\ s. 6 p. ^y. '^ '' w. s. \v. N. 5p. W. '' '' X. W, byW. X. 45° E. '' '' X. E. S. 33f° E. '' '' S. E. by S., etc. Table III will facilitate this reduction of courses, and it is important that the student make himself expert in these reduc- tions. Some compass cards are graduated both in degrees, and in points and \ points. Such a card is then, in itself, a table for the reduction of course from one denomination to the other. The Use of the Compass, is to give the bearing of a line, or to point out the direction in which a ship is to be steered. All courses are ultimately referred to the astronomical meridian, when they are called True or Astronomical Courses, sometimes they are called Chart Courses. But the compass seldom points to the true north. In most places it is turned away from that direction by the earth's mag- netism, more or less. It is also disturbed from the position which it assumes under the earth's magnetism, by the magnetism of the iron in the ship. This is the most serious disturbance that can come to the compass needle, — for as the ship heads to different courses, the needle also takes different directions, — so that the change in the readings of the card is no indication of the change made in the course of the ship. Yet, at sea, in dark weather, the navigator is obliged to refer his course to the disturbed needle, — whence it is of the first importance that the navigator know the error of his compass. The Ag'OUic Liue, or line of no variation, is a line on which the magnetic needle, when not disturbed by local causes, points to the true north. This line, in the United States, commencing in South Carolina, takes a course a little to the west of north, crossing the head of Lake Erie near the mouth of the Detroit Kiver, thence through the eastern part of the State of Michigan, crossing Lake Huron a little west of Mackinac Island, thence across the eastern part of Lake Superior to a little east of the Copper Islands. THE COMPASS. 25 From this chart it will be seen that east of the agonic line, the north end of the needle stands to the left, or west of the astron- omical north; and to the west of this line, the north end of the needle points to the east of the true meridian. Thus, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the needle points 20° to the left of north, while on the Pacific coast, near the mouth of Columbia Kiver, the north end of the needle stands to the right of the true north, 22°. Thus, in crossing the continent, the north end of the needle swings toward the east nearly four points. Preparatory to finding the error of the needle, Ave give a few definitions: Astronomical Meridian. — This is the north and south line given on all charts, and to which all courses are eventually referred. The meridian of any place is in the plane containing the earth's axis, and that place. Mag'netic Meridian. — This is the line pointed out by the mag- netic needle, when acted upon by the earth's magnetism alone. Compass Meridian. — This is ;he line pointed out by the mag- netic needle, acting under the combined influence of the earth's magnetism and that of the iron in the ship. Variation, is the difference between the directions of the astronomical meridian and the magnetic meridian. The north end of the needle may stand either to the right (east) or to the left (west) of the true meridian, in which case the variation is, called east or Avest, as the case may be. Easterly variation is con- sidered + (plus) and westerly — (minus), and is usually given in degrees. Deviation, is the difference between the directions pointed out by the magnetic and the compass meridians. The compass, when aboard ship, may be disturbed by the ship's magnetism, so as to take position to the right or left of the magnetic meridian, precisely as the magnetic meridian takes position to the right or left of the true meridian. Whence, Deviation is east or west, + or — ? precisely as in variation Variation and deviation are thus seen to be strictly analogous,' but with this difference, viz.: Variation is constant for all head- ings of ship, but deviation is different for all headings of ship. Three Kinds of Bearing. — Bearing being the direction of an object or place, with regard to some line of reference, as a mer- 26 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. idian line, it follows from the above definition thai we have three kinds of bearing, viz.: Astronomical, or True Bearing*, which is the direction of an object, with regard to the true meridian. Magnetic Bearing is the direction of an object or place, with regard to the magnetic meridian; and Compass Bearing" is the direction of an object or place, as given with the deviated needle. Whence, we have at sea: Variation and Deviation combined into one error called Cor- rection or Total Variation, and which is the algebraic sum of variation and deviation, for all compasses at sea are under the influence of both, — the earth's magnetism and that of the ship. That part of compass error due to variation, is found at the time of making a survey of the coast, or of the lake, or of any locality, and recorded in the charts of the same; and is regarded, for the time, as constant, though it changes slowly by the slow change in the ' 'agonic" line. Thus, in 1840, Prof. Elias Loomis informed us, in the American Journal of Science, that the agonic line, commencing at a point near Wilmington, N. C, went north- westerly, crossing Lake Erie east of Cleveland; thence, through the middle of Lake Huron and entirely east of Lake Superior. The variation in 1890, or rather the agonic line, was from 1J° to 2° to the east of what it was in 1840, i. e., places that then had variation, have variation of 1J° to 2° west, now. As a conse- quence, the variation that was given on charts that were made from early surveys, are in error, according to the age of their surveys — say 1° to 1J° — westerly variation increasing and easterly variation decreasing. But not so with that part of compass error due to deviation. This must be found for the compass of each individual ship, and for compasses in different parts of the same ship. Nor can we tell from the behavior of a compass in one ship, what may be looked for in the compass of another ship. Azimutli, is the angle or course by which an object is referred to a meridian. In geodesy, it is usually reckoned from the south part of the meridian (in north latitude), and from to the right, by the west to the north, and east 360° back to the south. In navigation and surveying, it is reckoned from both parts of the meridian, 90° each way to the east and west. THE COMPASS. 27 Amplitude, is the bearing of an object when referred to the east or west point of the compass. Azimuth and Amplitude are compliments each to the other, i. €., each is what the other lacks of eight points, or 90°.

Longitude in=21°, 57^ W. It will be observed that w^e have in this problem taken half the sum of the extreme latitudes for the middle latitude L^. This is CURRENT SAILING. 55 the usual practice for small distances. But for large distances, or with small C, it is necessary to apply the correction of table XI. Or the following rule may be used for finding the parallel on which the departure p must be augmented for difference of longitude. Take the parallel whose cosine is half the sum of the cosines of the extreme parallels, for the middle parallel. (This rule is original). This, although not rigorously correct, is practically so for all ordinary cases. It gives the L^ very slightly too large for L less than 45°, and slightly too small for L larger than 45°. The student should solve all his questions by at least two meth- ods, as a means of checking against mistakes, — one of which should be by construction, for fixing the problem clearly in the mind; another is by inspection for some of the parts. Thus, after we have found the 1 and p for a traverse, we can search the latitude and departure columns of a traverse table till we find these two components in the same line. The corres- ponding distance will be found in the ^'distance" column on the left, and the course will be found at head or foot of page or column. But this plan, though rigorously correct in principle, will not generally be found satisfactory. The traverse tables are not computed generally to arcs varying by less than one degree, so that the two components can rarely be found precisely, — hence some interpolation will be required. A better method is to divide both the components by the dif- ference of latitude 1, Then, by a principle of trigonometry, we have the tangent of the course C, which may be found from the table of Natural Sines, Tangents, etc. And from the same table, the secant of C is found, which gives us the distance d for unity. Then, multiplying sec. C by 1, we have the d desired, as in the preceding examples. Current Sailing. — The effect of a current on a vessel is the same as that of another course and distance, the course being the direction of the current, and the distance being the rate per unit of time, — as an hour, — multiplied by the time sailed in the same. If a vessel sails with a current, she will be ahead of her reck- oning, by the amount of the motion of the current, during the oG A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. time of sailing in it. And if she sail againfet the current, she will be behind her reckoning by the same amount. If she sail across the current, she will be carried with it through the distance the current moves while the ship is in it. The direction of the current, with regard to the meridian, is called the set ; and the rate at which it runs per hour is called the drift, From the above conditions, it is seen that in all cases, when sailing with a current, the set and drift must be regarded as an independent course and distance. Also that time is an element to be considered. Example: A ship made the following traverse in a current setting X. by W., at the rate of two miles per hour. 1. S. W.

Note. — It will be observed that this is merely the application of traverse sailing, with an extra course and distance introduced into the traverse. Oblique Sailing. — It will be observed that, up to the present, all our determinations for place of ship have been made by means of the properties of the right plane triangle. Some questions require the use of the properties of oblique triangles. The OBLIQUE SAILING. 57 finding of place of ship by this means, or the determining of ques- tions in navigation by this means, is called oblique sailillg*. It is used chiefly in the survey of harbors, — in the location of shoals, with regard to their bearing from other objects, — or in finding compass errors. A few examples will illustrate. But these questions will involve the use of some means on board ship, and as but very few of our lake vessels are provided with such appliances, I give the following method for the Construction ^'f the Dumb Card, which should be on every ship on the lakes: Let the ship's carpenter describe a circle, say six or eight feet in diameter, with center C in center line of ship. Through C, and at right angles to center line, draw the line 0. Divide each J of the circle into eight equal parts, and by means of chalk-line or straight-edge, transfer these points onto the rail, and make a clean, deep mark at the inter- section. Number these marks from to 4, from forward and from abeam, on each side of the head of ship; and number from to 1, 2, 3, etc., points abaft the beam. Let the marks on the rail be numbered with the number of the point, by driving brass or tin headed nails to indicate the number. Let the center of the circle be marked, as by driving some nails at the intersection of the fore-and-aft and 'thwart-ship lines. Then, to use this card, the eye being over the center and look- ing over the rail, the bearing of any object from ship is readily seen; and the bearing is referred to the nearest zero line, — thus we would say an object appears IJ points abaft the port Fig. 22. 58 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. beam, 2 points forward of the starboard beam, or 3 points off the port bow, as the case may be. Problem: A ship-master being about to sail, wishes to examine his compass, as to its accuracy. He observes from his chart that when 30 miles out on his proposed voyage, he will be 4 miles to the left of a certain lighthouse that stands on a headland. When Hearing the light, he observed it to be If points forward of the starboard beam. After sailing 6 miles, as indicated by the log, and on the same course, the light appeared IJ points abaft the beam. Having shaped his course, on the supposition that his compass was correct, he wishes to know from the above observa- tions if it is so. If not, which way is it out, and how much. Solution: Construct the problem as per figure. Draw any right line AB to represent course of ship, and on it take AB=6 miles, to any convenient scale, At A draw the line AC, forward of the beam If p. And at B,*draw BC, abaft the beam IJ p. They w^ill intersect at C. It will be observed that each of the angles B and A, in the triangle ABC, is the compliment of the observed angle, i, e., the angle at A=8 p. — If p.=6J p., ^•* etc. Then, bearing in mind that the sum of the three angles of any plane triangle ^^' is 16 p., we have only to take the com- pliment of the sums of the angles A and B, to know C=3J p. Then, in the triangle ABC, knowing one side and the three angles, we have a case for the **sine proportion,' ' by which we have, Sin. C:AB::sin. B : AC : : sin. A : BC, or Sin. 3J p. (=.5958) :6 miles :: sin. 6 J p. (=.9569): AC (=9.63 miles) :: sin. 6J p. (=.9416):BC (=9.48 miles). See table V, for the sines, etc., of points and parts, and let the student verify by careful construction, and let him perform the numerical work here indicated. UBLIQUJ 59 Our question requires us to know the height CD of the triangle. This can be measured by scale, or computed numerically. By equation 3, page 9, CD==ACXsin. A {=6^ p.) 3=9.63X.9-A16=9.06 miles. By the conditions of our question, we should be 4 miles to the left of C, but the above work shows us to be 9.06 miles to left, — that is to say, our compass has taken us to left of our true course O.06 miles in 30. Then, by equation 2, page 9, we have, Tan. course=5--30=.1666=tan. 9°, 29^ So that our compass is out to the left 9J°=f p. In the preceding solution, it would have been sufficient to make one proportion for one side of the triangle ABC; but tinding both sides, gave means of checking our work. Thus, either side, AC or BC, multiplied into the sine of its adjacent angle, should pro- duce the perpendicular CD=9.06 miles. Problem. The following problem is of the same character as the preceding, except the bearings are referred to the meridian instead of to center line of \ ship: A port, n, bears X. E. J ]N". from a port, m. At 26 miles out from m, toward B, directly abreast the port beam, is a light, distant 6 miles, when the ship is on the right course. The mas- ter having shaped his course on the supposition that his compass was cor- rect, when nearing the light, took its bearing, N. by W. i W.--N. IJ p. W. After sailing on same course 8 miles further, as ^^' indicated by ship's log, he took a second bearing, W. by X. | N. ^^N. 6J p. W. Eequired to know the compass error, if any, — liow much and which way. Solution by Construction: Draw any line, as AE, through the page, vertically, for the meridian. From any point on this line, 60 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. as at A, set off the course of ship, 3J p. to right of the meridian and 8 miles long, to any convenient scale. From the same point A, set off the bearing of the light C, IJ p. to left of meridian. From B set off BC 6J p. to the left of the meridian, or, Avhat is the same thing, make the angle ABC=to the supplement of the bearings AB and AC, viz., 6J p, Then by scale, we find, CD=7.8 miles. Answer. Solution by Oblique Trigonometry: In the triangle ABC, the Angle at A=e5 p. or 3 J -^1 J, Angle at B=6} p. or 16 p— (3J+6}), Angle at C=4f p. or 16 p. — (5-f 6}). Then, by the sine proportion: Sin. C: AB :: sin. A : BC, :: sin. B : AC, or, Sin. 4J p. (=.8032) : 8 :: sin. ^ p. (=.8315) : BC (=8.28 miles), :: sin. 6} p. (—.9416): AC (=9.38 miles). Then, either side, AC or BC, multiplied by the sine of its adjacent angle, gives the perpendicular, thus, AC (=9.38 miles)Xsin. 5 p. (=.8315)=CD (=7.79 miles), and BC (=8.28 miles)Xsin. 6i p. (=.9416)=CD (=7.79 miles). But, by the conditions of our problem, CD should be 6 miles^ that is to say, our compass has taken us to the right, say 1.8 miles in 26, which, by right trigonometry, corresponds to an angle of 4°. Answer. Compass out to the right 4°. Many other questions could be proposed for solution by oblique trigonometry, but they would be of a class that seldom or never occur in practice, — are more curious than useful, — so we spend no time with them. Following are a few miscellaneous questions: Distance of an Obiect by two Bearings. — The two preceding problems are at the foundation of table XII. They are deemed of so much importance to ship masters who have occasion to round headlands in the night, that a table has been prepared from which the distance of a light, or other object from a ship, — as also the line of the ship's course, at right angles from the light or object, may be told in advance, or before reaching the vicinity of the '^danger line.'' But the table here presented is quite different from that used at sea, and for the following reason: There, the bearings of the OBLIQUE SAILING. 61 object or light are referred to the meridian, by means of the stand- ard compass, which is furnished with a movable ring and sights for the purpose. But, on the lakes, our compasses being boxed up in the pilot house, are not available for such work, even if they had the ring and sights. We can only take the bearing of the object from the ship's center line, by means of the ship's dumb compass, — reading the bearing directly from the card, when she is fortunate enough to have one, — which, indeed, is the better way. The table is constructed generally by solving a number of tri- angles, varying in their angles by J or J point, through such limits as would embrace all the cases likely to occur, both for the side opposite the first bearing and for the perpendicular distance of the base or line of the ship's bearing, produced, from the light or object, for a distance of unity. The results are tabulated in column under the first bearings taken, and in line of the second bearings as factors by which to multiply the distance run between the times of observation for the distances sought, — the larger product giving the distance from ship to light at the time of the second observation; the smaller product giving the distance to light or object when it comes abeam, — or the height of the triangle, as it is technically termed. In the table which I give (table XII) I introduce the factor, as above, for the distance of the light from ship at the time of second observation. But, instead of the second factor, I introduce the sine of the second bearing, to be multiplied by distance of ship from light, for the perpendicular distance of object, or height of the triangle. An example will illustrate the use of the table: Being about to pass a headland in the night, the track by which, as given by the chart, lies two miles to the right, and not knowing whether my compass is correct or whether I was in the proper track when shaping course, I wish to know if my course will take me the proper distance to the right of the light. Soon after making the light, I found it to bear 2 points to the left of the ship's heading. After sailing 3J miles, as indicated by ship's log, it bore 4J points to left. Eequired the distance of ship from the light at time of second observation, also the perpendicular dis- tance of the track of ship from the light. (See Fig. 25). 62 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. Solution: Draw the indefinite line A m to represent the ship's course. From any point A in this line, draw the line AC two points to the left of A m, and from A set off to B the distance sailed, 3 J miles. From B draw BC 4 J p. to the left of ship's course, meeting AC in C. Then is C the place of the light. From table XII, in column of 2 p. and in line of 4J p., will be found the decimal .81. This, multiplied by the distance, 3J miles, gives us BC. the distance of light from ship=2.83 miles. Thia again multiplied by the sine of 4J p. (=:.773)=2.19 miles=DC, the dis- tance of ship's track from the light. This problem is also available in finding compass errors. Course aud Distance from the Co-ordinates of Place. — The won- derful clearness and fullness of detail in our lake charts are pur- chased at the expense of one con- venience, and that is the finding of course and distance, in some cases. The scale of the chart is so large as to make it impracticable to give us a full or entire lake on one sheet; as a consequence, they are given in sections, which must be combined before courses can be obtained from. Fig. 25. them in all cases. This combination is inconvenient at times, nevertheless the course between ports represented on different sections can be readily obtained from their *^ co-ordinates of place," as given in the list of lights. An example w^ill illustrate: At Sturgeon Bay Canal. Required the course and distance to Michigan City. Solution: From the U. S. List of Lights for the Lakes, we find Sturgeon Bay in latitude 44°, 47^, longitude 87°, 18^. Michigan City in latitude 41°, 43^ longitude 86°, 54^ The difference of latitude is 3°, 04^=212 miles, The difference of longitude is 24^=20 miles, for the mean latitude 43°, 15^. Whence, in sailing froni Sturgeon Bay to Michigan City, we must OBLIQUE SAILING. 63 ^•0 '/ZF make southings 212 miles, and eastings 20 miles. The southings are found by multiplying the difference of latitude in degrees by the value of 1 degree=69.15 miles, giving 212 miles. The eastings are found by multiplying the difference of longitude, 24^ by the value of 1 minute of longitude, for the mean latitude, as given by table X, giving us 20 miles. Constructing a triangle, as in Fig. 26, with base 212 and with perpendicular 20, and measuring the angle at A with protractor or scale of chart, we find the angle say \ p. That is to sav, our course is S. J E. Then, by plane trigonometry, multiplying the base 212 by the secant of course (^=1.0048, table III), we have 213 miles for distance. By plane trigonometry, also, the course may be found, for 20--212=.0943=tan. 5°, 25^=say \ p. This, it must be remembered, is the chart course, which must be modified by variation, — in this case \ p. to the right, — making the magnetic course S. f E.; and this must again be modified by deviation, if any, also by leeway and for current, if any. Fig. 26. CHAPTEK ly. Construction of Charts. Construction and Use of Mercator's Chart. — The principles underlying the construction of this chart have been examined under the head of Mercator's Sailing. It only remains to make the practical application. Suppose we were to construct a Mercator's chart of the territory embracing the great lakes, — say from latitude 40° to 50°, and from longitude 75° to 95° W. We must prepare the skeleton or blank, as follows: (See table on following page). 1. Write down in a column the degrees and parts of a degree that are required to be represented on the sides of the map, — as the whole degrees, J° or the ^°. (See table IX). 2. From a table of meridianal parts (abbreviated to M. P.) write the M. P's corresponding to each degree and part of a degree, in an adjoining column. 3. From the M. P's of the highest latitude, subtract those of the lowest latitude. Thus, the M. P's of 50° (--3474.5), the M. P's of 40° (=2622.7), their difference is 891.8, which is the depth of our map in latitude, in the scale units that rejDresent 1°- 4. From the M. P's of 50°, take the M. P's of the whole degrees, 49°, 48°, 47°, etc., setting down the differences opposite their respective latitudes. Thus each difference will represent the distance between the consecutive parallels that are one degree apart, and the place of each parallel can be marked on the side of the map at one placing of the scale, after we 5. Add the several differences consecutively, for the height up to the consecutive parallels. Thus, The M. P's for 50°=3474.5 '' '' '' '' 49°=3382.1 92.4, seen at foot of 3d column, M. P. for 49°— M. P. for 48°=90.6, as seen in 3d column, etc. MEKCATOR S CHART. 65 In this manner will the widths of single degrees be found and recorded in the 3d column. Then, adding consecutively, as per (5), we have the height of the first parallel from base of map= 78.9 scale units. Then 78.9-i-80.1=159=height of 42° parallel from base of map; 159+81.4=240.4 M. P's for the height of the 43d parallel, etc. In this manner was the fourth column pro- duced, that shows the height of each parallel from base of map. 6. In the widths for the J degrees, subtract the M. P's of 49J° from those of 50°, and we get 46.5 M. P's, found at the foot of the 5th column. The M. P's for 49J°— those for 49°=45.9 M. P's, seen in the 5th column. And in this manner was the width of €ach consecutive half degree found. Table of Elements for a Mercator's Chart. Latitude 40° to 50°. Lat.

The table for the values of the degrees of latitude, being pre- pared, we are ready to construct the framework or skeleto-n of our chart. 66 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. 1. Assume any convenient scale. — preferably one that is decimally divided, and set off on a horizontal line, at the foot of the chart (the south side,) the amount of longitude required, — in this case, 20° or 120 miles (1 mile being the scale unit), mark- ing the points for the meridians, — each degree or each alternate degree, as wanted. 2. At such extremity of the line representing the width of the map in longitude, erect a perpendicular for the extreme meridian or sides of the chart. 3. On each of these meridians, set up the distances given in the preceding table, for the places of the several latitudes, com- mencing at the bottom of the sheet, thus. Set up 78.9 M. P's for the place of the 41° parallel, u 1590 u u u a 490 a 240.4 '' '' " '' 43° '' etc. Thus we have all the parallels located at their proper places, to represent the augmented latitude. 4. We can now locate the places for the half degrees from their scale values, in the column for the widths of half degrees. The framework or skeleton is now ready to take the location of places, — as towns, coast-lines, rivers, islands, boundaries, etc.,. which are located from their known places of latitude and long- itude, by means of two T squares, — one locating the latitude, the other the longitude, — and their intersection being marked by a needle-point or sharp pencil. Thus, a number of points in the boundary of a lake or bay being located and a fair line traced from one to another, the shore line is located, etc. It is to be remarked that the "meridiaual parts" given in our table IX, are those that have been in use a long time, as first con- structed, on the supposition that the earth is a sphere. But more modern w^orks compute them for the earth regarded as a spheroid^ — making them slightly smaller than for the sphere, for any given latitude. Bearings and Distances. — The bearing* between any two points on a Mercator's chart, is very readily found. It is only necessary to draw a straight line between the two points and apply a protractor to any meridian crossed by this line, to read the bearing. This, and the straight ''rhumb line,'' are two of its conveniencies. But not so with distance. This cannot be measured by scale, on a Mercator's chart, except in PLANE CHART. 67 the direction of longitude; and this measurement must be multi- plied by the cosine of the latitude before it is available for use, for it will be remembered that the whole map, away from the equator, has been expanded. Scale measurements caiiiiot be made ill any oblique direction, because the scale varies from the equator toward the pole. Thus, at 40° of latitude, a half degree is only 39.3 M. P., while at 50°, it is 46.5 M. P., — and this is an objection. Construction of the Plane Chart. — In the plane or rectang- ular chart, the meridians are parallel lines at a uniform distance apart. This distance, for one degree, is found by multiplying the equatorial distance, 60 miles geographic or 69.15 statute, by the cosine of the latitude for which the map is made. The following considerations will show the amount of error for such a chart: First. It must be remembered that the meridians at the equa- tor are parallel, and at the poles they have their maximum inclin- ation, which is the whole difference of longitude, and that between these limits, the inclination varies as the sine of the latitude. Example: Suppose we wish to make a rectangular or plane chart for the latitude of 42°, for an area of one or two counties, or say 30 miles square. Multiplying 60, the number of geograph- ical miles in one degree, by the sine of 42° (=.6691) we have 40.14 geographic miles for one degree of longitude, or 46.28 statute miles, and the error resulting from their being parallel, would be 60^Xsin. 42° (=.6691)=40^ for 1° of longitude, i. e., in a block 30 miles square, the south side would be about 55 rods too Small, while on the north it would be that amount too large. The Conical Projection. — In the conical projection, the mer- idians are all right lines, but they are inclined by the amount due to the central latitude of the map. There are two methods for this projection, — the tangent and the secant. The latter being the more accurate, is the one we will illustrate. In Fig. 27, let ABC be the arc of latitude to be embraced by the map. Set off from each end of the arc of latitude, one fourth of its length, to a and a^, and through these points draw the secant intersecting the earth's axis produced in D. Then, the cone, of which aa^ D is an element, will, when rolled out or A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. developed, be a portion of a circle and the radials through it, and of which the secant aa^ D is one, will represent the meridians of the sphere, and circles described through it from D as a center, will be the parallels of latitude. The points whose latitude is a or a^, would be correctly represented in magnitude, while those near A and C would be too large and those near B would be represented too small. The following example will illustrate, viz., to construct the lines for a map embracing latitude 40° to 50°, and 75° to 95° of long- itude, i. e., the vicinity of the great lakes. Dividing the difference of latitude, 10°, into four parts ,we find the two parallels, a and ai, to be five degrees apart, and two and one-half degrees from the extremity of the map; and a=42J°, and ai=47J°. The length of one degree of longitude on the parallel a =cos. 42J (=.7373)X60=44.24 miles, and on a^, =cos. 47J {=.6756)X60==40.54 miles, and their distance apart on the meridians, ==^X60-=300 miles. And the radius of the developed parallel a, is the cotangent of 42 J° multiplied by the radius of the earth; also that of a^ is co- tangent of 47J° multiplied by the earth's radius. These being too large to be used as sweeps with which to describe the parallels, we must devise some other means of sweeping arcs of circles. Fig. 27. Draw a line vertically through the middle of the map, to represent the middle meridian. From head of the map, set down 150 miles for the place of the parallel 47J°. Below this, set down 300 miles more for the place of the parallel 42J°, and below that, set down 150 for the parallel 40°, limiting the south side of the map. From a, (see Fig. 28) with one or two times the width of one degree of longitude, 44.24 miles, as computed above, accordingly as a meridian is wanted for every alternate degree, describe the arc of a circle, both to right and left. ORIENTING SHIP. 69 In the same manner, from a^, with the same multiple of the width, 40.54 miles, describe an arc on each side of the meridian, and through these arcs draw the meridians, as for 83° and 87° of longitude. With twice theii distances, sweep again from same centers, for the meridians 81° and 89°, and three times their distances, sweep arcs for 79° and 91°, etc. Produce the two outside meridians of the map till they meet the middle meridian, from which point sweep the parallels of latitude 40°, 42°, 44°, etc. The above is the most practical and readily available of the many methods in use for representing areas of several hundred miles square. A more accurate method, called the PolyCOllic Projection, is in use by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, but as it is somewhat abstruse in its construction, we do not illus- trate it. Orieiitiiig" Ship. — Two methods, the Direct and Eeciprocal, of finding compass errors, have been treated, together with the appli- ances for the work. But the subject is of such importance, that we give a number more, in- cluding the Orienting of Ship, for the purpose of compen- sating ship's compass. There are many opportun- ities of finding lines of ' 'known bearing," as between inter- visible lights, or between two headlands, or between a light and a headland. Such lines are said to have a port-hand or a starboard-hand bearing, accordingly as the line is to the left hand or to the right of the meridian, as the observer looks to one of the objects. Thus, the line Skilligille-Waugoshanee, bears X. 2J p. E. The observer standing in this line and looking either to the north or the south, will see one of the lights to the right of the meridian, whence, the light is said to have a starboard-hand bearing. This notation will be found very convenient for defining the bear- ing of lines. IS- the two parts come together by subtraction, and we have a lean concave curve, as in the first quadrant. Thus: The total deviation in the two northern quadrants, is greater than the deviation in their diagonally opposite quadrants by twice the mean quadrantal deviation of those quadrants. HEELING DEVIATION. 91 The above property affords a ready means of separating quad- rantal deviation from the total deviation. Eule: Take half the arithmetical difference of the diagonally opposite quadrantal deviations, for the mean quadrantal deviation. And in constructing the curve, observe that the heights, or ordinates of the curve vary as the sine of twice the azimuth of ship's heading, measured from the point midway between the magnetic meridian and the compass m.eridian. The Yariation of the Intensity of Magnetism, for distance is known to be Inversely as the Square of the distance. But when two magnetic forces act on each other, the intensity of their mutual or joint force varies Inversely as the third course of their distance. Thus — if two magnetic bodies acting on each other at a given distance produce a given deviation, then at twice the distance, the deviation will be only J as much; at three times the distance, it will be only ~ as much; at ten times the distance, ^^ as much, etc. This law shows us how a small element of disturbance near by, can make more trouble than a shipload of iron a little ways off. Heeling Deviation. — So far, our consideration of compass errors have been considered with regards vessels on an ^^even beam. But there is an error resulting from the lifting or heeling of the vessel, called Heeling Deviation, When the vessel is heeled to starboard or port, the vertical longitudinal plane, containing the compass, is shifted to leeward of that containing the general center of magnetic effort of the ship. As a consequence, the relations existing with ship on an even beam are disturbed. But, fortunately, our lake vessels have so much more beam for their tonnage and draft of water than sea-going vessels, that this disturbance will now give us much trouble. This error is at its maximum when the ship's center line is parallel with the compass needle, as with ship's head IST. or S. and nothing with head E. or W. magnetic. Mechanical Correction of Deviation, by Means of Mag- nets. — Because the two parts B and C, of deviation are semi- circular, or nearly so, they may be compensated, or neutralized mechanically by introducing magnets acting in contrary direction. 92 A MANUAI. OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. Having oriented the vessel by any of the methods heretofore explained, with ship's head to any one of the cardinal points, — say to the North, — mark on the deck under the compass, and on the wall of the pilot house, if near, the intersection of the mag- netic meridian plane with them, that passes through the compass. This line will be parallel to ship's center line. Also, at right angles to this line, draw the intersection of the transverse vertical plane passing through the centre of compass, — marking the trace of same on the side of pilot house, when near, — showing a possible place for a magnet. Place a magnet with its center on the fore-and-aft line of the deck, moving from or towards compass, — changing ends if neces- sary, — till the compass point correctly, — and fasten tempor- arily, keeping the magnet perpendicular to the meridian plane. If the deck is too far off from the compass, for the strength of the magnet, apply a larger magnet, or use two magnets, — or fasten one to the side or front of the pilot house. Then, ship's head being swung to magnetic East ci AVest, again bring the needle to its normal place, as befor?, — being careful to keep the magnet truly fore-and-aft, with its center on the transverse line on the deck, — and fasten temporarily. If, now the fixed magnetism of the ship represented by X^ and — B in Fig. 1, of Plate II, be in its proper place, with its zero points at the North and South, coinciding with the nodal points of the other two parts C and D, then compensation for the semi-circular deviation will be complete, and ship will *' reverse bearings" on the cardinal points, and in the quadrants, except for the error due to quadrantal deviation. But this is too often not the case. This part B may be shifted in azimuth with regard to the other parts C and D, so as to give a material error of a J or possibly a whole point on reversal of ship. In this case no amount of "fixing" or "fudging" will avail us. If Ave bring needle to place on one cardinal point, it will be out on the other, — and if we bring it to place on the other, it will be out on the one. In this case we can do nothing more in the way of correction, but resort to a Deviation Card. Swing ship again to verify the work, and secure the magnets permanently. If the quadrantal deviation (for there is some in all ships), is to be corrected by deviation card, which is the better way, swing DEVIATION CARD. 93 ship again, putting ship's head carefully to all the alternate points of the card, magnetic by means of the desired compass, and note the reading carefully of the ship's compass, and record them. If there was no error at the cardinal points, the errors found in the quarters, will rarely exceed a J point. But if these courses at the cardinal letters, are reversed, these errors will affect the •quadrantal errors. The following is a deviation card from actual practice, the original error being over 2^ p. The first and third columns giving the magnetic course desired; the second column giving the correction, which must be read with the course in the magnetic column, to get the compass course desired. Thus, to get S. E. magnetic, we take S. E. J S. per compass; and for IS". W. magnetic, we take N. W. J N. per compass, etc. Steering Card. Magnetic Correc- Magnetic Correc- Course. tion.

Experience has shown that cylinders of cast iron, 3 to 3i inches in diameter, and 9 to 12 inches lon^, with hemispherical ends, and placed on a level with the compass card, and with their ends pointing radially to the center of the card, give the best results. Nails and chain in boxes have been used; cast iron balls, also, have been used with satisfactory results. 94 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. The Correction. — The semi-circular deviation having been corrected, set ship's head to one of the inter-cardinal points, — say N. E. — ^^magnetic. Place one of the cylinders to the north of the card, on a 'evel with the card, and with end pointing to the center of the compass. This corrector should be directly in line of the needle when brought to its normal place. Place another cylinder to the east or Avest side of the compass, in the same manner, as may be necessary to make the compass point correctly. Now, keeping the ends of the correctors at the same distance from the card, — move them both outward or inward till the com- pass points correctly, — and the work is done, — secure correctors. Theoretically, this correction should be nearly perfect, but practically it may be very imperfect, as the result of a non- symmetrical arrangement of soft iron in the ship. Correction of the Heeling Error. — This is made by means of a Vertical Magnet, under the center of the compass. Small vessels may be readily heeled 8° to 10°, when a magnet may be applied in a line that would be vertical when ship is on an even beam, — with that end up that brings the needle to place, — and varying the distance, by moving it up or down, till the needle shall point correctly, when it may be secured. Large vessels cannot be readily heeled. In this case resort must be had to a Magnetic Survey of the ship. But the dis- cussion of such a survey is beyond our purpose. For this information the student is referred to the Admiralty Manual for 1874. Practical Conclusions. — The following are some of conclu- sions drawn from the scientific investigations and long practical experience of Messrs. Smith & Evans, of the Liverpool Compass Committee. (I.) All mechanically corrected compasses, should have com- pound needles, — or two parallel needles, whose extremities are 60° apart. (II.) If single needle compasses are to be corrected, the needles should not be over six or seven inches in length, (III.) A correcting magnet on the same level of the compass, should not be nearer to the center of the needle, than six times the leno^th of the needle. PRACTICAL CONCLUSIONS. 95 (TV.) In making corrections for quadrantal deviation, the soft iron correctors should not be brought nearer to the center of the compass, than two times the length of the needle. (Y.) No compass that is to be corrected by magnets, should be placed where the original deviation is more than two points. (A"I.) The compass should not be near either end of an iron ship. And if the decks are of iron, they should be provided with a hatch immediately below the compass, of a width IJ times the height of compass above deck. (VII.) If the compass of an iron ship is to be carried amid- ships, the direction of the head of ship, during the building, is not important. Remark, — The preceding is but a meager outline of the sub- ject, ''Terrestrial Magnetism," wdth ships, and their compasses, which alone would require a large volume, but it is believed to be enough to give the shipmaster some idea of the forces that disturb his compass, and to put him on his guard in the care of that valuable instrument. For further information on this topic, he is referred to *' Magnetism of Ships" and '' Deviation of Compasses," published by the Bureau of Navigation, — Navy Department, 1867. CHAPTER VI. The Propeller Wheel. In view of the great importance of the propeller wheel in pro- moting the vast and growing commerce of the lakes, it is desirable that a more general, and in some respects, a more correct know- ledge of that indispensable agent be had by our maritime people. Accordingly I offer the following concerning it. Deffinitions. — The Length of the wheel is the distance from the forward edge to the after edge of the blade, measured in a direction parallel with the shaft, and usually is about ~ of the diameter. In the early history of the wheel, it was much longer. The Pitch is the distance made, by one revolution of a point, with regard to the shaft, and is usually given in terms of the wheel, — as a pitch of IJ or 1 J diameters. It is sometimes given in feet, but that method gives no idea of the pitch — angle. The Net Pitch is the distance made by the vessel, by one revolution of the wheel. This is usually given in feet, for the purpose of deducing the speed of ship from the number of revo- lutions of the wheel, in a given time, though when used for comparing the value of different wheels, it should be given in terms of the diameter. It is the pitch as usually defined, dimin- ished by slip. Slip is the difference between the pitch of the wheel, and the distance made by the vessel at one turn of the wheel, and is expressed in feet, or as a per cent of the pitch, as wanted. Example. If a wheel of 9 feet diameter have a pitch of IJ diameters, propel a vessel 10 feet with one revolution, it is said to have a pitch of 12 feet, — a net pitch of 10 feet, and slip of 2 feet, or of 2^12=.166, or say ^. CENTER OF EFFORT. 97 Negative Slip. — Sometimes the vessel shows a speed greater than that due to the pitch of her wheel. This apparent paradox, — for it is only apparent, — comes from measuring the pitch at the end of blade instead of measuring it at a point called 'the Center of Effort, situated about — to — of the length of blade inboard from the end, as will be hereafter explained. It is pitiful, yet laughable, to see the absurd theories that have been advanced, even by learned professors, to account for this apparent anomaly. True Screw. — In this screw, the working face is a warped surface, generated by a line having two motions, — one angular at a uniform rate, and the other, a motion of translation at a uniform rate, along a right line, and always making the same angle with that line. Illustration. — In Fig. 31, let m. n. represent the center line of shaft, or hub of wheel, and let the line n. a. A. represent the generating line. Then if this line be moved uniformly along the line n. m., and with a uniform angular motion along A. C. as indicated by the arrow points, it will generate the helicoidal surface, A. c. m. n. forming one surface of the blade of a true screw, — A. C. being the Helix. Pitch Angle.— In Fig. 31, let A. B. be the arc of a circle whose plane is at right angles to the line m. n. or shaft, — and the arc A. C. the helix generated by the point A. in its revolution about the line m. n. — then is B. A. C. the pitch angle, and B. C, parallel with and equal to n. m., is the pitch corresponding to Avidth of blade. Center of Effort is that point in the length of the blade, having the same amount of work on either side of it, and, in the true screw, is at — of length of blade from center of wheel, — and not at — as told us in engineering books. If the wheel were quiessent, supporting a weight uniformly distributed over the disk area of the same, — then the center of effort would be at — of radius from center, as said. But the cir- cular motion throws this center outboard. The disc area of the wheel varies as the square of the diameter. Also the intensity of percussion varies as the square of velocity of the several points, in the radius of the wheel. And the amount of work done varies with the product of these two 98 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. factors, — whence the total work up to any point in the radius of the wheel, varies as the fourth power of the distance of such point from the center of wheel. As a consequence, the center of effort is at a point equal to the fourth root of J := — of R., tliat is, in the helix a. b. — of rad- ius from n. m. The angle which this helix a. b. makes with the plane of the arc A. B. and which is at right angles to the shaft, is the angle that should always be used in any calculations concerning the efficiency of wheels, or the amount of power wanted for propulsion. AVhen the pitch is measured at that point, we shall never hear of negative slip. Expansion of Pitch, Radial and Axial, is a change of the pitch from that of the true screw. If the blade (Fig. 31) be made narrower at the inboard end, by lifting the point n. towards m. the pitch of the blade at that end will be reduced. This change is called Radial Expansion, and is introduced by many wheel makers, for the purpose of throwing the work of this end of blade out to where the pitch-angle is smaller, to avoid part of the loss from oblique action. But there is a limit to this reduction, it must not exceed the prospective slip. The object is to relieve the inboard end entirely of work, which is attained by making the pitch the same as the net pitch. If this is made less than the net pitch, the blade takes water on the forward face, — doing negative work. Axial Expansion, is an increment of pitch from the forward edge to after edge of blade, making the working face concave. The object is to take hold of the water gradually, and to in- crease the pressure by increasing the pitch gradually, in conse- quence of which the helix AC. (Fig. 31) is concave towards AB. This expansion is all right in the hands of those who know how to use it, for it has its limit, which is the prospective slip. If the expansion exceed this limit the blade takes water on the forward face, doing negative work. Besides, the propelling of ship is done with the after part of blade, where the pitch angle is greater, — and where, consequently loss from oblique action is greater. KAPIAIi EXPANSION. 99 This is probably the most disasterous leak the coal-bunkers of the lakes have ever been called on to pay. This mistake has been general. Fortunately, our best wheel makers know better now than to exceed this limit, — while others, perhaps afraid of it, do not give their blades any axial expansion at all, — which is perhaps as well, for the smaller the slip, the more nearly must the blade be a true screw. ■yvV Fig. 31. By means of radial expansion, the center of effort is moved outward from its normal place in the true screw, but just how much, owing to the different ways of doing it, and the different degrees to which it is done, it would be difficult to say. The prob- ability is we may locate the center of effort between — and ^^ of the distance from center to end of blade. 100 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. To Measure the Pitch, is frequently required for the pur- pose of comparing different wheels. It is of importance for every engineer, master and owner of a steamer, to know the pitch of his wheel, so as to know, in the event of a break, how to order a new one. This involves a knowledge of the angle BAG. (Fig. 31.) or of the sides of that triangle. The angle may be found by applying a carpenter's bevel, so as to have one arm of the bevel on the helix AC. and the other on the plane AB. and both at right angles to the radial at the point of application, as at A. The angle being found, construct on paper, as BAG. From any point B. set up the perpendicular BC. Then is BC. the pitch due to the developed helix BG. Divide the base AB. by 3.14, then we have the diameter of a circle whose circumference is AB. Divide BG. by the quotient thus found, when we have the pitch in terms of the diameter of the wheel. Example. Suppose we find AB. in (Fig. 32.) by scale measure to be 25J inches, and BC. to be 12 inches, then 25J^3.14=8 and 12 -^ 8 =1J. That is, our wheel has a pitch of IJ diameters. It is the pitch at the end of blade, and is the pitch by which wheels are usually defined. But wheels must be compared by means of the angle at the center of effort, called The Working' Pitch Angle, which is always greater than that found at end of blade, by — to —^ depending on the amount of radial expansion. This angle is readily found in degrees, — thus Divide the ratio of pitch to diameter, as 1, IJ, IJ, etc., by 3.1416, and we have the tangent of pitch angle at end of blade. Increase this tangent by — or — , as may be required and we have tangent of the Working Pitch Angle. Example for a wheel whose pitch is IJ diameters: 1.5--3.14163=.4774=Tan. 25.° 31^ which is angle at end of blade. Increasing this tangent by its — , we have .4774X'-^^^--=.o374=:=Tan. 28.° 08^ for angle at c Alter of effort. Or measure by protractor, or scale of chords. HOLDING POWER. 101 The "HoldJug* Power," or the ability of the wheel to furnish inertia for the engine to work upon, depends on the disc area of the wheel, and the depth of water draAvn by it. vSo that when the wheel runs ''awash," the Holding Power varies as the cube of the diameter, or If the draft of the wheel is greater than the diameter, then the Holding Power will vary as the square of the diameter, mul- tiplied by the draft. Illustration. — If a wheel of given diameter give a certain amount of inertia, running *' awash/' then a wheel twice as large under the same condition, will give eig'llt times as much; and a unit of area in the large wheel, as a circular foot of the disc area, wdll have twice as much holding power as the same unit in the small wheel, for it has twice the weight of water on it. The Holding Power per I. H. P., furnished by different wheel makers, is widely different in the amount, — varying from 1 to 5 cylindric feet. The minimum furnished by the best designers at present, is the inertia to be derived from about 1 cylindric foot of water per I. H. P., though the average of wheels on the lakes, is consider- able above that. The wheels of the steamers ''Alaska,'" "Spree," and the U. S. Steamship "Maine," are so proportioned as to give about 1 cylindiic foot per I. H. P., — whence, to determine the diam- eter of the wheel, in feet for that amount of inertia, or holding power, we have only to take the cube root of the !• H. P. Or, if the wheel be deeply submerged, we may divide the I. H. P. by the draft, and take the square root of the quotient. Example: The wheels of the U. S. Steamship "Maine," are calculated to work off 9,000 Horse Power, or 4,500 each. And the vessel is to draw 21 J feet of water. Dividing the 4,500 by the draft, which is say 20 feet, we have 225, as the square of the diameter, — the square root of which is 15 feet, as provided by her designers. Difficulty in ProYiding" Holding- Power for small vessels. AVe know from Geometry, that similar solids or volumes vary as the third power of any of their similar dimensions. Also, that surface of similar figures are as the second power of their similar sides. 102 A MANUAL, OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. And we know that when two vessels are similar, and loaded to the same per cent, of their depth of hold, that their displacement volumes are similar, and therefore that their wet surfaces are similar, and have the relation of the squares of any of their sim- ilar dimensions. Whence, the power required for them will be as the squares of those dimensions, while as we have seen, the ^^ holding power'' varies as the cube of those dimensions. Hence we see that the holding power changes twice as fast as the requirements for propelling power. Illustration. Say a vessel with 8 feet draft, is provided with a satisfactory power, and wheel, A vessel of 16 feet draft, would have four times as much power, if provided in proportion to increase of surface, while the inertia available, is eig'llt times as much, i. e. the inertia available, varies twice as fast as the power required. This law is not generally known, and what is worse, it cannot be repealed, nor circumvented. If it w^ere better understood, people would know why a ton of displacement in a small vessel, requires so much more power for a given speed, than it does in a large one, — which is simply be- cause the inertia required, is not obtainable. With this rate of change, between the power required, and the inertia available, there is some point, of course, where the inertia to be had, Avill meet the requirements, when the wheel is running ^' awash." This condition will be found with vessels drawing 7 to 8 feet of water, i. e. with such vessels provided say wdth 7 feet wheels, all the inertia required, is available, but not more. With vessels drawing more water, the supply increases faster than the demand, — i. e. as the cube of the draft, while the amount wanted is only as the square of the draft. AVith vessels of smaller draft, the supply falls short of the requirements, by the same ratio. Example: With a vessel of only 4 feet draft, the power required, to be in the proportion of their surfaces if the vessels were similar, would be as the square of J, which is J, while the inertia available would the cube of J=J, that is, the supply falls short of the demand, in this case, in the ratio of J to J, or 1 to 2, i. e. we can only get half of what we want. USEFUL AND LOST WORK. 103 Many plans have been devised to surmount this difficulty, — chief among which is the increase of the pitch. This introduces two other troubles, loss by oblique action of blade, and a serious lateral pull, by the great amount of lost work in the lower blade, resulting in loss by great slip. Fig. 32. Two wheels have been introduced, but this is very expensive, besides it increases the exposure to injury. The expense is seen when we multiply the diameter of the one wheel, say 8 feet, by the cube root of J=.794, and find that we must use two wheels, 6 J feet diameter, to get the holding power afforded by one 8 feet diameter, when the wheels run ^^ awash." Useful and Lost Work. — To represent these parts, let the line DC. in Fig. 32, be the helix at center of effort. 104 A MANUAL. OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. From any point in this line, and at right angles to it, draw the line c. d. to represent the total work of blade. Divide into 100 equal parts. Through d. draw d. b. parallel with BC, and through c. draw b. c. parallel with D. B. Then will b. d. represent the amount and direction of the use- ful work, and b. c. those of the lost work. The total, or 100 parts of work must be divided on these lines, in proportion to their squares. This is done by demitting a per- pendicular from b. onto d. c, showing in this case, the useful work to be about — of the total work. The lost work, repre- sented by b. c. is expended entirely in lateral work, like a paddle wheel turned fore-and-aft and which is very much increased by increasing the pitch angle, is seen to be — , in this example. The triangles BCD. and b. c. d. being alike, the side b. c. cor- responding to pitch of blade, is the Sine of the Pilch Angle, while d. c. is cosine, whence from the preceding, we have Cosine^ of the working pitch angle, measures the useful work, and siue^ measures the lost work, in per cent of the whole. In this manner was the following table made: Pitch in Diameter. Angle. Per Cent. Loss. 1 19° .11 li 24° .16 H 28° .22 1} 32° .28 2 36° .35 Thus, it is seen from the table that we more than treble the loss from oblique action of blade, by doubling the pitch. Advantage of a Large TVlieeL — It is not infrequently desir- able to make the wheel larger in diameter than the preceding considerations would indicate, not necessarily for the purpose of getting more inertia for the engine to work upon, — but to keep the pitch-angle within economic limits. When it is desired to obtain great speed, we must have great pitch in some form. We may either increase the piston -speed, by which more revolutions of the wheel are attained in a given time, or we increase the diameter of the wheel, — keeping the ADVANTAGE OF A LARGE WHEEL. 105 pitch-angle constant, — till the desired pitch is attained. Another method, practiced by some, — who have yet their first lesson tO' learn concerning the propeller wheel, — is to increase the pitch- angle. But as this increases the loss from oblique action of blade very fast, after a pitch of about IJ diameters has been attained, it is not to be tolerated, above that limit. It is true that increase of diameter is objectionable on some accounts, — as increased first cost, — increased exposure to injury, — increase of friction; — but reduction of loss by oblique action of blade, i. e. a saving of power, gained thereby; is greater than all. Explanation of the Tables. I^^ Is a traverse table, giving the differences of latitude and departure for distances up to 10, and bv courses varying by 4 point up to 8 points. For illustration of their use, see pages 41 to 43. II. Is a table of the natural functions, — Sine and Cosine,— Tangent and Cotangent, — Secant and Cosecant, for every 5 of the quadrant, and to four places of decimals, — more decimals, or shorter intervals of arc, for purposes of azimuth, with our lake compasses being entirely unnecessary. For further explanations of their use, see pages 11 to 13. III. Is a table of rhumbs, varying by J point, for converting points to degrees, and the reverse; — with their Sines and Cosines, Tangents and Secants, — useful in making computations for angles in points, etc., instead of in degrees, — as in Table II. IV. Is a table of amplitudes of the sun, for the latitude of the lakes, with the time of his rising and setting. Also the rate of the change of his azimuth from sunrise, to the time of his cross- ing the prime vertical, when the latitude and declination are alike. This rate being practically uniform for all declinations in any latitude above about 40°, affords the means for deducing a table of time azimuth, good for one to three hours, from a single amplitude; — thereby vastly enlarging the utihty of amplitudes. For further explanations see pages 71 to 73. EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES. 107 V. Is a table of the sun's declination to the nearest minute, for the current year (1891), with the corresponding equation of time, — the sign prefixed, being that for reducing mean time to apparent time; — wanted with the table of time azimuth, when orienting ship. This table is never precisely correct, except for the particular date for which it was computed; but as it is the mean between two leap-years, it can never be far wrong, — the change of declin- ation for 12 hours, being the maximum error that can occur during any four years, — after which interval, the table is very nearly correct again. Ignoring this small error, — as we may for all purposes of azi- muth, this table will be available for a great many years. VI. Is a table of time azimuths of the sun, for the latitude of the lakes. Useful in orienting ship for compass errors. — See pages 74, 77, 78. YII. Is a table of time corrections for reducing standard time to local mean time. It is computed by reducing the difference of longitude between any locality, and the longitude of the standard time, to time, and applying the sign that reduces the standard time to local mean time. Thus: The difference of longitude between the light-house at Chicago, and the longitude of central standard time, is 90^ — 87°, 37^=2°, 2o^ , or 9^^, 32^ of time. Then because the standard meridian is ^vest of Chicago, this difference must be applied with the plus sign, i. e. we must add 9^^, 32^ to central standard time, to obtain the mean local time for Chicago. In this manner was the table constructed. It is wanted with the equation of time in using the tables of time azimuths. See page 74. VIII. Is a table of chords for setting off, or measuring angles. For particulars see pages 12-13. IX. Is a table of meridianal parts, for the construction of Mercator's chart. It is given for every 2 minutes of latitude from to 75°. The intermediate minute is readily found by interpolation, Avhen wanted. See pages 48 to 52. X. This table gives the value of 1 minute of longitude for €ach degree of latitude up to 30°, and for each half degree thence up to 75°. It is wanted in many questions of dead reckon- ing for reducing departure to difference of longitude. See pages 44 to 46. 108 A MANUAL OF NAVIGATION FOR THE LAKES. XI. Is a table for the correction of middle latitude, in middle latitude sailing. See pages 46-47. XII. Is a table for finding distance of objects from ship, from two bearings, and distance sailed between them. Pages 59 to 61. XIII. Is a table for reducing difference of longitude to time, wanted in deducing local apparent time of a locality from the longitude of the locality and standard time. Tariatioil Cliartlet. — Wishing to amplify the subject of vari- ation somewhat, I give the following as an explanation of the chartlet of ''Magnetic Tariations." First, to explain the terms right and left as applied to the magnetic card. When the north end of the needle is to the right of the true north, it is in east variation, and in west variation when the north end is to the left of the true north. This is well when the ship has northings in her course, but it is a more gen- eral expression to say that the card is out to the right or left, as the case may be, by variation. It Avill be observed that in sailing either wp or down the lakes we are continually crossing the isogonic curves. In going west the card swings to the right 18J° between the foot of Lake Ontario and the head of Lake Superior, — thereby leading the vessel to the right or north. In the same manner, in going from Duluth to Buffalo, the card swings to the left, taking the vessel to the left, or north, as before. That is to say, — in going any way across these lines, we are taken to the north by change of the variation. This *^ change" of variation, is a very different thing from variation itself. When we go west, with a westerly variation, we are led to the Sonth, and to the north with an easterly varia- tion, — unless correction is made, — and conversely. But wdth the *' change," we are led to the north in any case. And the track made by the ship as the result of this *^ change," is a curve, like a railroad curve, precisely. And the straight line joining the end of this curve, changes its direction, with a change in the length of the curve, just half as fast, as the curve changes its direction. Whence, Correction is made for this *' change," by taking half the sum of the variation at the two extremities of a run for the mean variation to be applied at either end of the run. VARIATION CHARTLET. 109 Thus:— Toledo to Buffalo,— Variation at Toledo,=rO°. Varia- tion at Buffalo, :=4J° W. The J sum=2J° W. is the mean variation to be applied in going either way between these ports. In ''Shaping Course," the following rule w411 always apply for mean variation. With variation to the right, apply correction to the left. With variation to the left, apply correction to the right. There is scarcely another place in the world where the '^change" of variation must be taken into account as an indepen- dent factor. This results from the fact that there is no other place in the world where the isogonic curves are so close together, or are crossed so directly by vessels, as on our lakes. 1 H hi d V
