In proceeding in either direction, east or west from the lines of no variation, the declination of the needle gradually increases, and becomes a maximum at a certain intermediate point between them. On the west of the eastern line the declination is west; on the east it is east. At...

If the value either of coefficient B or C be given, also the magnetic direction of the ship's head while she was being built, how by the traverse tables would you determine the approximate value of the other coefficient C or B ; and if the value of both these coefficients be given, how would you determine approximately the direction, by compass, of the ship's head whilst being built?
