    George you are quite right. As I wrote I racked my
    brains for the model numbers, however not being
    certain I thought it better to remain silent. At home
    this weekend I will try and dig out the article and
    give a little more detail.
    
    I also was not seeking to create a generalisable
    statement about plastic sextants. Rather this is the
    only test of its type that I have seen and I offered
    it simply as further grist for the mill.
    
    Regards
