Reverting to last sensible version

Lots of content seems to have been deleted. I've reverted back to an older edit. Apologies if I've accidently deleted some content. Nick Connolly 03:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note:

    Why is + M is needed after the  $(60H)$  in the above equation?
    Say the time is 5:24.  We can't just calculate the 5.  We need to immediately 
    and NOT separately include the minutes i.e include the 24 minutes.  Because 5:24
    means the hour handle is NOT exactly at 5 now.  Since it's 24 min past then the hour
    handle would have moved a little bit away or a little bit past from the 5 O'Clock 
    mark.

I removed this from the article and posted it here. It should be in the discussion not formally placed in an article. --Pr. Ultracrepidarian (talk) 02:03, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Degrees or no degrees

User WillemienH first made this edit, which I undid, and then made this edit which I undid too. Both edits left the article in a inconsistent state. Adding the degree units seems a bit awkward, so I propose to leave all units out altogether. - DVdm (talk) 17:20, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we were busy editing the page at the same time (sorry), i only later realised it needed more editing. My idea is to add degrees everywhere, also I wanted to make the formula's to be more readable by non-mathicatically proficient readers (add \times where there are multiplications, remove unneeded detail, but do add ^{\circ} where it is about degree. and that ilk.
