The Use of Bisectors
Alan Davies · Journal of Navigation · 1956
Lieutenant-Commander Bini's interesting paper on the use of bisectors shows the trap open to the believer in the 3-line fix and goes on to show the M.P.P. when four lines are used. However, as the ideal for the four lines is to have each at 90° apart, an error in either one or two lines provides the observer with an ellipse for the M.P.P. and is for practical purposes but a variation of the 3-line cocked hat circle of M.P.P. and little appears to have been gained by the working of the fourth line.
