I have been looking for one of these for 20 years. No luck so far. I know the man who helped to developed it and had the pleasure of handling the original prototype in 1990. The twilight computer is discussed in a publication called: "Arctic Air Navigation" by Cmdr. K.R. Greenaway. Attached, are some photos from the book.
