I never knew about Bris sextant before it was mentioned on this list. The construction looks clever. Did anyone on this list check its precision? Or has any reference to someone who did? I mean, to what "precision class" it belongs: a) of metal frame sextants, b) of plastic sextants c) of cardboard sextants d) of Columbus time quadrants, astrolabia etc.? Alex.
