- W2034607282 abstract "IN a late number of NATURE (vol. xii. p. 101) you have commented upon the work performed by the Meteorological Office. Although in no way interested in the defence of that department, I think objection may fairly be taken to the style of criticism adopted. Not only would it, in most cases, be necessary to refer to the original thermograms satisfactorily to detect the many small errors pointed out, but it is well known to practical men that owing to certain idiosyncrasies of individuals some of the numbers 1, 2, 3 … 8, 9, 0 do occur in estimations more often than others, and of course more often than they should do theoretically. In no case are such personal peculiarities likely to show themselves more than in the determination of the position of a hazy photographic trace of sensible breadth, as between two sharply defined lines. As an example of my meaning, I may refer to somewhat similar estimations of tenths of seconds, as tabulated by the highly-trained and experienced observers of Greenwich, only premising for the information of the uninitiated, that the tenth part of a second is far too large a measure of time to be trifled with by astronomers, and that practically the estimation is simply that of the position of one sharply marked puncture or dot as referred to two others equally well defined on either side of it, indicating the beginning and end of the second, and separated by about one-third of an inch. Referring to the Greenwich Observations of 1864 (the only volume I have at hand), and taking three days' observations at random for the experiment, I have determined the percentage of times that each of the numbers 1, 2, 3…8, 9, 0 occur as the tenth at which transits of stars took place. As there is no theoretical reason why one number should predominate over another, we may expect that the percentage for each figure will be accurately 10, or each a tenth of the entire number." @default.
