In fact, it is the Kollsman Periscopic sextant without the periscope. The averager runs for two minutes and averages 120 sights automatically. It does not need electrical power except to light the bubble for night sights. You can connect 3 nine volt batteries together to supply power for this The averager is mechanical and runs off of a clock spring. ther is one for sale now on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160135297308 I'd buy it but I already have too many sextants. gl --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
