excellent post - thanks so much. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of his book to accompany my copy of Bauer's Sextant Handbook.

I suspect I will be one of many (but perhaps the first, if I type fast enough) to point you to William Morris' blog post:

You might also be interested in his remarkable book on restoring and servicing sextants, "The Nautical Sextant", from Paradise Cay books.
I won't try to summarize the blog post, you'll be better served just reading it :).
