I don't know of a manual online but there is a photo at http://www.geocities.com/petanoz/aviation/celestnav.htm that shows the location of the bubble chamber. You may wish to search the Nav-L archives for Kollsman and for the word pellicle for some more information on the bubble.

Is anyone could tell me where is the bubble chamber or could help me. Thanks a lot. Guillaume BARTHELEMY. JPP __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
