John,
Beautiful pelorus! Wish I could find one at a reasonable price. For those who cannot afford the usual price for these beauties, (me included), you can build one for virtually nothing using plans from Dennis Fisher's book, Latitude Hooks and Azimuth Rings, or if you have a Davis 111,use that , horizontally as per David Burch book. I've done that. Works a treat.
Francis
