Description: The coherence of three dimensional position locations determined from a splicing together of      positions generated by contiguous short baseline tracking arrays is quite sensitive to the      orientations of the individual arrays. These orientations can be checked with the use of long      baseline methods applied to the signal arrival times at a triplet of sensors, each from a      different array, but representing the same sound source. The report presents a sharp      algorithm for accomplishing this. It operates in three dimensions and tests out well in the      cases attempted.
