My models OK on the Distance side, but I'm struggling on the Course side. All the photos suggest initially that the Course disc is a single item including the Course and Distance scales, but this can't possibly work, because the index arrow has to move wrt the Course. Is that inner disk in the photos actually an inner Course disk glued to the outer Latitude disc and the Distance scale actually on a ring running round the Course disc and free to rotate. That would work. DaveP
