... Our supplementary volume owes its origin to the discovery by the authors?F. Richard Stephenson and Michael A. Houlden (1981)? of significant errors in Tuckerman's tabular positions of Mars. Following a query put to one of us (FRS) by the late Professor A.J. Sachs of Brown University, Providence, R.I. regarding the real accuracy of the tables, we made a systematic comparison between Tuckerman's positions for the Sun and planets and those computed from an integrated ephemeris. ...
