Hello John & David, Thank you for chiming in with the catalogue references. I've used the Bakers for a good long time, and recently bought a supply from Imray. They note that the supply is limited. I see that when I google Baker's Postion Line chart, I immediately get several photos of one. Given that, I thought that perhaps the following might be of interest: the navigation cicle is 11" in diameter; the length of the chart is 35 1/4" and the width is 14 3/4" They are usually stored with the end flaps (which contain the longitude scale) folded under whcih cuts the size down to about 19" X 14 1/2". If I remember correctly you get jsut a glimpse of one so folded in Hiscock's film: Beyond the West Horizon (I looked it up, it's about 17 minutes into the film just after he's made and worked his celestial sight. Hope this may be of some ifun to you all.
Cheers,
John
