I'm relaying a request for information that has just appeared on the "rete" mailing list, which is mainly for curators of museums that have a scientific bent. It strikes me that our Navlist pundits might well be able to offer help. If anyone can, please send it to Deborah Warner directly (sorry, I don't have her direct email address), or email it to me at george@hux.me.uk , and I'll pass it on via rete. George contact George Huxtable, at george@hux.me.uk or at +44 1865 820222 (from UK, 01865 820222) or at 1 Sandy Lane, Southmoor, Abingdon, Oxon OX13 5HX, UK. ================================== I am trying to establish the date of a sextant that is signed �C. Plath Hamburg� and �4252� and that has a drum micrometer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
