JT / Robert:
Getting direct access to the original historical documents is truly exciting.
I take it that these are machine scanned / manually typed in, and not images of the original documents...leading to the possibility of errors and therefore differences between the two versions....
What I wanted to point out that the difference between the gyro angle of the 5th and 6th shot is significantly larger than the differences between the other shots; this would be consistent with a pause:
(both internet sites give the same gyro angles)
Note that the differences between
# 1 and # 2 = 3 degrees
# 2 and # 3 = 2 degrees
# 3 and # 4 = 5 degrees
# 4 and # 5 = 2 degrees
# 5 and # 6 = 15 degrees...
The difference between # 5 and # 6 (15 degrees) is larger than the difference between the whole spread from # 1 to # 5 (12 degrees)!
I don't see why this would be done unless there was a pause and possibly a new TDC set-up.
Regards and thanks,
Kurt
