Many thanks to d walden.
As it turns out, part of the answer to my question
was behind me on a bookcase full of navigation texts. Vol 3 of the Admiralty
Manual of Navigation (1954) carries a brief description.
On a quick glance and not being a mathematician, it
appears that the sight reduction method in Hughes is similar to HO 211
(Ageton)?
