Which outcome regularly occurred on 18th-century sailing ships when brass quadrant scales corroded?

💡 Explanation

Erroneous star angle measurements arose because galvanic corrosion caused metal loss weakening demarcation notches, making precise aiming inconsistent depending on the observer eyesight rather than structural instability because the scales weren't part of a load-bearing system, therefore accurate readings become inaccurate readings.
