Excerpt from Determination of the Solar Parallax: From Photographs of Eros Made With the Crossley Reflector of the Lick Observatory University of California In his work of discussing star-places, Professor Hinks, of the Cambridge Observatory, kindly offered to include the stars required for the proper reduction of the Crossley plates. The Royal Observatory at Greenwich specially measured and reduced nearly 100 star-positions for use by Professor Hinks in his list for the Crossley plates. Need less to say, these star-places were an essential feature of our work, and our indebtedness to these sources is proportionately great.
