Sinopsis

Excerpt from Determination of the Difference in Longitude Between Each Two of the Stations Washington, Cambridge, and Far Rockaway

A discussion of ways and means of making as accurate a deter mination as possible led to the plan Of using the German cables which cross the Atlantic in two links, one extending from the island of Borkum, in the North Sea, to Fayal, in the Azores, and the other from Fayal to Far Rockaway, on the outer coast of Long Island, N. Y. It was arranged that the German observers should do the cable work, while the American observers should connect the station at the Far Rockaway end of the cables with the United States longitude net. The Borkum station had already been connected with the German net.
