Sun's True Bearing or Azimuth Tables is a book written by John Burdwood in 1918. The book contains tables that provide the true bearing or azimuth of the sun at any given time and location on the Earth's surface. These tables are useful for navigators, surveyors, and astronomers who need to determine the position of the sun in the sky.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the sun's position. The first section provides an introduction to the tables and explains how to use them. The second section covers the declination of the sun, which is the angle between the sun's rays and the plane of the Earth's equator.The third section covers the equation of time, which is the difference between solar time and clock time. The fourth section covers the azimuth of the sun, which is the angle between the sun's rays and a line pointing due north. The fifth section covers the altitude of the sun, which is the angle between the sun's rays and the horizon.The book also includes a glossary of terms and a table of latitudes and longitudes for major cities around the world. Overall, Sun's True Bearing or Azimuth Tables is a valuable resource for anyone who needs to determine the position of the sun in the sky.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
