A time–distance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...
Great Western Railway Class 802 IET with a westbound Atlantic Coast Express at Par in May 2019. After completion of the lines to Bude in 1898 and Padstow in 1899, the London & South Western Railway (L&SWR) introduced the first North Cornwall Express in 1900 [1] [page needed] leaving London Waterloo at 11:10, and this continued over the next decade as the North Cornwall & Bude Express with the ...
A chart datum is the water level surface serving as origin of depths displayed on a nautical chart and for reporting and predicting tide heights. A chart datum is generally derived from some tidal phase, in which case it is also known as a tidal datum. [1] Common chart datums are lowest astronomical tide (LAT) [1] and mean lower low water (MLLW).

Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude. This distance is an element in solving the second (inverse) geodetic ...

Alternatively, a nomogram can be used to check an answer obtained by a more exact but error-prone calculation. Other types of graphical calculators—such as intercept charts, trilinear diagrams, and hexagonal charts—are sometimes called nomograms. These devices do not meet the definition of a nomogram as a graphical calculator whose solution ...
