The problem of errors in radar plotting were considered by Capt. H. Topley (11, 167) and Capt. F. J. Wylie (12, 198), and it was shown that the error in the estimated distance of the C.P.A. depends upon mean range and range change in plotting interval. I want to introduce the term rate of error in the estimated distance of C.P.A., in the same way that Topley shows the percentage error in the estimated speed.
