Find also the local mean time of transit at a place in longitude 45 W. Ans. 13 hrs. 22 min. 31-35 sec. And 13 hrs. 25 min. 57-77 sec. Given the L. S. T. At any Place and the G. M. T. Of Transit of the First Point of Aries on the same day, to determine the L. M. T. The local sidereal time measures the interval in sidereal hours since the transit of the First Point of Aries over that meridian. By turning this, therefore, into mean time hours we get the interval since the transit in mean time hour...s. But we have just seen how we may calculate the L. M. T. Of transit of the First Point of Aries from the information in the Nautical Almanac. The addition of the two results will give us the L. M. T. Required. The rule of procedure, therefore, may be expressed : Turn the 5 66 ASTRONOMY FOR SURVEYORS. given sidereal time into mean time and add it on to the computed L. M. T. Of transit of the First Point of Aries. As the transit of * may take place at any time of the day, some care is necessary in selecting the right transit, as is illustrated in the following example : EXAMPLE.
