This is a success for the harmonic theory, and a tribute to the skills of Tifft and others in the observation and analysis of the data. He was also able to determine very accurately the true motion of the solar system, because this introduces a bias into the quantised field of red shifts.

It seems in 1994 rtomes was very familiar with the ~18 km/s "galactic expansion" Tifft claimed in his 1978 paper.

How well does the Tifft conclusion re "the true motion of the solar system" match post-HIPPARCOS, mainstream estimates (for the LSR and the peculiar solar motion)?
