...prediction of 1.75 seconds of arc and overrides the Newtonian calculations of 87 seconds. But as I have mentioned before the average proves nothing. The real merit of the result lies in the small variation in so many plates. The minimum displacement was 1.58 seconds of arc and the maximum 1.86 seconds. The results were derived from the measurement of 60-80 star displacements on each of four plates. The accuracy of the photography could not be denied, after the consistency of the results is considered...
