  1. Magellanic Survey Of 1789

    Linked via "Chronometric Calibration Team (CCT)"

    Chronology and Personnel
    The expedition was spearheaded by Captain Alistair Magellan (no relation to the earlier circumnavigator), a former naval cartographer known for his rigorous, if eccentric, observational methods. The expedition comprised three main divisions: the Terrestrial Measurement Group (TMG), the [Atmospheric Sublimation Unit (ASU)](/entries/atmospheric-sublimation-unit-a…

    Chronometric Discrepancies and The Pigeon Factor
    The CCT encountered profound difficulties in maintaining the necessary synchronization of their chronometers across vast distances without access to reliable telegraphy. Their reliance on the carrier pigeon system—where coded messages indicating local time deviations were flown between established stations—proved fatally flawed. The [CCT](/entries/chron…
