<div id="ygrps-yiv-216303738">both lynetd & lysdtd were fixed by colonial convention<br/>
at integral or half degrees of latitude & longitude<br/>
as detailed here per brownlie<br/>

& the borderbase google earth pushpins mark the<br/>
predicted approximate or exact locations as precisely<br/>
as possible in both cases <br/>
so no tripoint stretchers are needed there<br/>
<br/>
but as you can also see on the above page<br/>
nengtd is a can of worms of a whole nother color<br/>
if you will excuse the expression<br/>
since brownlie doesnt completely agree even with<br/>
himself in this case<br/>
<br/>
& since ibs 73 for netd settles on the nengtd tripoint<br/>
geocoords of<br/>
approx nlat13d42m53s & elong13d38m20s<br/>
& ibs 90 for ngtd & 93 for neng both settle on<br/>
tripoint geocoords of<br/>
approx nlat13d42m29s & elong13d38m<br/>
it is easy to guess where brownlie imported his self<br/>
contradiction from<br/>
<br/>
& i myself would tend to favor the latter geoposition<br/>
over the former <br/>
if only because it comes up slightly more often in the<br/>
best sources<br/>
but the former actually inspires a bit more confidence<br/>
because it alone is fully expressed in degminsec &<br/>
thus in a manner that seems less casual & more<br/>
discriminative overall<br/>
& also because the pushpin chooses & nails it almost<br/>
exactly too<br/>
<br/>
nevertheless the attached tripoint stretching diagram<br/>
indicates the alternative & actually the majority<br/>
position <br/>
just in the interests of full disclosure rather than<br/>
to actually disagree in any sense with the pushpin<br/>
position<br/>
<br/>
for i actually do prefer & agree with the southwest<br/>
corner of it at least <br/>
til better data come along<br/>
<br/>
of which there is probably at least some hope<br/>
since the area in question is now on the dry bed of<br/>
the shrunken lake chad<br/>
<br/>
&  <br/>
chile would be next but was already completed by<br/>
arbocl & boclpe when they came up alphabetically<br/>
since thats all there is of chile<br/>
so see you next on the flip side in china <br/>
  <br/>
