Plane Sailina.

All plain sailing. This term Is so
spelled even In nautical works Of some
age, but plane sailing is the correct
form. Before Mercator invented the
sea chart which goes by his name all
charts were on plane projection. In
using these the ships course was treat
ed as an angle and the distance, diff
ference of latitude and departure as
the sides OF right angled triangle.
There were very large errors In plane
charts, yet all the world was charted
on them and all the great voyages OF
discovery made before Mercator's pro-
lection came into use. Plane sailing
was the simplest of all saillngs, and
thus came the present meaning Of the
term.
