Laurie,
There used to be a fellow named Bob Kleid in Fairfield, CT, who sold the Hezzanith under the name of Kleid Navigation. If he is still around, I am sure he would have such a manual laying around.

I have recently found a 1947 Heath Hezzanith sextant (model S17?), complete with all lenses, tools etc in its box amongst my father-in-law's effects.
I am learning astro-nav. and would dearly like to be able to put this instrument to good use. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of the users handbook?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.(I have tried the UK Science Museum, surprisingly with no success).
