    Re: Trouble with Kollsman Periscopic sextant - no bubble
    From: Guillaume Barthelemy
    Date: 2005 Dec 20, 22:20 +0100

    Thanks for these information; As far as I can see from the drawings which are at
    http://www.geocities.com/petanoz/aviation/celestnav.htm, the bubble chamber is
    lacking on my sextant...
    But that is surprising, because on mine I wonder how the bubble chamber could be
    fixed,and seen from the eyepiece at that place; indeed, at that place there is
    only a very little hole where a very little light is screwed in.
    
    Best regards
    
    Guillaume BARTHELEMY
