Welcome aboard
Mike,
Lunar distances? Bubble
sextants? My god man! You are far, far gone. Perfect for this
forum!
I too, would love to
get a hold of a prism level as described in one of the earlier issues of the
Navigator's Newsletter. I could suggest contacting one of their directors, John
Luykx but I think I may have already posed this question to him some years ago.
Nevertheless, you should try him or try contacting Terry Carroway who is now the
editor of the Navigator's Newsletter and who was a very good friend of Admiral
Davies'.
If you find one, let me
know.
Robert

My name is Mike Burkes and Cel Nav is a great hobby of mine! I have 4 sextants:2 marine(Astra and Simex) and 2 bubble(Bendix Mk 5 and Fairchild A-10). I also belong to the Foundation for the Promotion of Navigation.I love Lunar Distance and sometimes the results are pretty good! I have a question. Does anyone have a Prism Level (invented by Adm Davies) that would fit the above marine sextants or any info regarding source(s)? Your reply would be appreciated immensely!! Yours Truly,Mike.
