After comparing the results he finds that Placidus resembles these results the best. Actually, he claims that Placidus gives the best approximation of Placidus. He also mentions a publication by J. Allen Jones jr. who proved that Placidus can be calculated in arctic regions. However, Jones later said he had made a mistake.
