713 forum posts 6 photos	I wonder if anyone shares my delight in the Chambers Seven-figure Mathematical Tables, edited by James Pryde F.E.I.S ? Mine is the 1943 edition.454 pages - logarithms of numbers 1 to 108,000; trigonometrical, nautical and other tables. In fact, it contains an absolute wealth of knowledge, including a number of very useful conversion formulae On a blank page at the back I have written a number of ballistics formulae I require from time to time. I definitely wouldn't be without it - in conjunction with my slide rule, of course. Perhaps I am a pessimist in my belief in the possibility that one morning we shall wake up and find the internet has crashed and will take months to repair...

5 forum posts	I always preferred "Nories Tables" they included in the 'explanation of the tables' at the back of the book all the spherical trig formulae, as the B.O.T. exam rules allowed use of anything between the covers of an approved set of tables it saved dropping a clanger in the exam by remembering a formula incorrectly, I retained the habit of checking from the back of the book when I used it for real at sea when the consequences of dropping a clanger would be much more serious
