MOUNTING='FORK'

The independent variable (i.e., the reference column of the table) is labelled DEC, and contains the declination in degrees. The table entries are the hour-angles of the various limits, measured in decimal degrees.

Table I.4 shows the layout for fork mounts. Each column is described in detail below (cf. Table I.5).
