There is nothing on pages 73 or 77 or any other page in my 1937 edition of HO 208 that remotely relates to your method. There are example problems illustrating the uses for HO 208, nine examples for line of position, three for noon latitude sights, three for identifying an unknown star, three for great circle course and distance and one for latitude by Polaris. Sorry, no mention of your methodology that you claim that Noonan practiced by the use of HO 208.

It is generally known that he always used "Navigation Tables for Mariners and Aviators" by Dreisonstok , H.O.no.208 . His methods can also be translated from earlier stages of the world flight , of which the annotated air charts were sent home before July 2 . Hence , H.O.208 , short method but very effective and accurate ,is the Work Book you refer to . Sunset-sunrise calculations are the only in consideration for our purpose , so consulting pages 73 and 77 plus occasionally the explanations suffices to get the work done .
