Back in 1981 I programed my Texas Instruments SR-52 programable calculator to use the Sumner method for plotting an LOP. I input two latitudes, an approximate longitude, up to three sets of GHA, declination and Ho's and it returned the longitudes where the LOPs crossed the two latitudes. I liked plotting the LOPs this way since the charts I was using had the longitude tic marks along each parallel which made it easy to plot these points and no necessity of measuring an azimuth.

We discussed this quite a bit in 2007. Go to:
