Marc,
thanks for your message and the kind invitation.
I am, however, sufficiently familiar with the use of
the instrument. I will need more practice to increase
speed, but as my reproduction is now complete and neat
I am looking forward to gaining routine soon :o)

I would be interested to stay in touch anyway and to
discuss experience!
What is your impression of the practical use at sea?

I have prepared forms for the calculations, following
the MHR1 nomenclature and including the
almanac-related and sextant correction calculations.
They are good for five sights in one A3 sheet and come
along with a plotting sheet. If you are interested I
will be happy to send you a pdf?

I do lack one detail for my second attempt on the
reproduction:
This time I want to have actual machined grooves on the
base and no work-around. Could you tell me how many
groves there are? My best estimate is 18 groves of 5mm
width each...

Thanks again for your message, I am really happy to
learn there is one more user of such instrument so
relatively close to myself :o)

Best regards

Wolfgang
