216(4): The value of x for Light Deflection by Gravitation

The attached is a simple theory that gives x = 0.378 for the observed value of “twice Newton” for light deflection by a mass M. Horst Eckardt has plotted some hyperbolae for x = 0.3 in UFT215. For light deflection by the sun the eccentricity is very large because the deflection is only a few arc seconds.
