Lane resolution (in Raydist)

A system used in Type M and Type N Raydist. Additional stations are set up near the shore stations.

The resultant hyperbolic co-ordinates are much further apart, at a distance from the baseline, and therefore provide a coarse scale for resolution of the fine system scale.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
