These are subjects related to the board of longitude that don't yet have a wikipedia article. To avoid having multiple articles on the same topic, or having edit conflicts with each other, please start articles in sandboxes and move them to mainspace when ready. If a sandbox or article is red it doesn't exist yet, if its blue it has been started.
