Don, you've said...
So, at the end of the four hour watch there would be eight course headings and four speed readings.
Yes, that's sort of obvious. I guess the question was - what exactly a navigator was doing with a traverse board at the end of a watch? How the data thus collected/recorded was processed?
Warm regards,
