sun-run-sun : So we now know how to get a single position line from a single sun sight. But we need at least two position lines to get an actual position fix, or position estimate. But there is only one sun, so we have to wait for the sun to move to take another sun sight and get another position line. Ideally, we would take a sun sight in the morning and obtain a position line, and take another sight in the afternoon for a second position line. This will result in two almost perpendicular lines, which will give us the most reliable fix with two lines(the closer the lines are to [being] perpendicular, the less susceptible their crossing point is to error). 3, record 5, English, - sun%2Drun%2Dsun%20method

On a peak-day basis, interstate pipe-line delivery capability into California is about 7 billion cubic feet per day while California's ability to absorb natural gas within the intrastate pipeline and distribution system("take-away" capability) appears to be less, as low pressures and the inability to meet some inter-ruptible gas load during peak periods indicate.... Although the physical capability of the delivery point at Ehrenberg, AZ, could permit an estimated 1, 410 MMcf/d to be delivered, the intrastate system can receive only 1, 210 MMcf/d. 13 The California Energy Commission estimated that the imbalance at the northern corridor crossing(Needles/Topock) is about 350 Mmcf/d. 14. These two estimates for the separate State border crossings combined indicate a potential shortfall in receipt capacity of 550 MMcf/d along the Arizona border. 3, record 16, English, - receipt%20capacity
