    Joe,
    
    The third diagram at this link is the one that made sense to me as a
    student:
    http://jimthompson.net/boating/CelestialNav/CelestNotes/Coordinates.htm#Dip
    Would that work for you?
    
    I never did see a flagpole diagram when I was learning CN a couple of years
    ago.
