[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 474213, member: 15748"] Shortpants, TOF essentially [U]is[/U] BC, it just hasn't been converted into a useful form yet. BC is simply TOF over a given distance, referenced against a standard that that particular table is based on and given an arbitrary and dimensionless number, usually "one". Knowing TOF over a given distance is useful for some calculations, and essential to some others (such as Coriolis effect). However, BC allows a great deal more flexibility in what sort of calculations can be derived. You're just rockin' the boat here, aren't ya?!:) [/QUOTE]
