14 23
Correction of 10 seconds per hour of interval between previous noon and birth (14 h. 28 m.) equals 144 seconds or 2 min., 24 sec.

When the birthplace is located in East longitude, correction for longitude is subtracted. Had the child been born August 2nd at 2:15 A. M., in latitude 42 North, but in longitude 88 East, the S. T. would be figured as follows:

H. M. S.
S. T, Greenwich for noon (Aug. 1st)
8 37
Correction of 10 seconds for each 15 degrees East Longitude (subtracted)
      59
8 36 1


H. M. S.
Interval from previous noon (Aug. 1st) to birth, Aug. 2nd, 2:23 A. M.
14 23 00
Correction of 10 seconds each hour of interval from previous noon to birth
    2 24
S. T. at birthplace, at birth-hour
23 1 25

As the Houses are governed by latitude, the same table of Houses is used as for the child born in Chicago.
