    Cool,
    A new toy to make....
     
    Any idea what the numbers on page 2-109 for the year are?
    And how do we find the numbers for the current year?

    The US Airforce survival manual from the 1960's included a description of how to make a fishline sextant and tables for determining longitude and latitude from its use.
    The claimed accuracy is 10 miles. Individual results may vary.
