Isn't there another slide in the inverting telescope?  It looks like there is 
an eyepiece on the right side.

Bill said that three-ring Husuns' with an inverting telescope were designated 
as a "Master."  My "Mate" has "Mate" stamped on the arc.  He also said the 
"Masters" had lesser arc errors.

obtained a post 23,000 �Mates� three circle sextant with zero arc

attached receipt.  Do you think you could get a new index mirror fitted and 
adjusted for one pound seventeen shillings and sixpence today?

with two slides.  I�ve only got one, the four wire one. Can anyone tell me 
what went in the little rectangular housing on the bottom left and the 
circular housing top right.  Could it be to put the star telescope in when 
not in use, or for the missing slide? Dave
