Hewitt,
Not to worry. I have a hand lead at the ready ;-)
The attached shows an afternoon time sight reduction using trig and trig log tables from Bowditch.
10 table entries and 4 sums were required. The slide rule solution is so much easier by comparison.

Greg, this time I got a LHA of 62* 12' which gives a Lon of 119* 11' W. So
look over the side to be sure you're not aground.
My only excuse is this time I worked without my 4-power specs. :-)
