Papers on observed zenith distance investigations, undated, [1960s-1970s]
Scope and Contents
Numbered files containing notes, graphs, tabulated data and calculations. The files comprise:
1 - Notes titled 'O.Z.D. Investigation: Prism Angle'
2 - Tabulated data titled 'Investigation to find "best" mean temps for group'
3 - Graphs in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (T)'
4 - Graphs in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (iT)'
5 - Graphs in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (△T1)'
6 - Tabulated data and graphs in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (△T ' [sic]
7 - Graph in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (△T) + f (iT)'
8 - Tabulated data and graphs in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (△Ti - △TB)'
9 - Tabulated data in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (P - Pcalc)'
10 - Tabulated data and graphs in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (wind dir. & vel etc)'
11 - Tabulated data and graphs in a file labelled 'Investigation of correlation of prism angle with (t - t0) and △T0'. Note: data tables in this file are made up of sheets of paper attached together with adhesive tape. Handle with care.
12 - Tabulated data and graphs in a file labelled 'Investigation of correlation between Z, △T and (t - t0)'
13 - Tabulated data and computer print-outs in a file labelled 'Z = Z0 + f (△T, △T2, t - t0, ((t - t0)2, △T ((t - t0))'
File labelled 'Summary of O.Z.D and corrns.'
