Nomenclature
- Named for Harold Knox-Shaw (1885-1970), a British astronomer.
- This name was introduced on LTO-63C1 (for which it served as the chart title). The map does not indicate if it replaced a former [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] designation, but it is clear this was [/Banachiewicz Banachiewicz] F in the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters]. Knox-Shaw appears in the cumulative list of approved names in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB] (1973). Since it does not appear in any prior [/IAU%20Transactions IAU Transactions], it was probably approved at the 1973 meeting. Biographical information was unofficially reported in [/Ashbrook%2C%201974 Ashbrook, 1974]. - JimMosher JimMosher
