While many posts refer to use of Martelli's tables for time sight reduction, others just say sight reduction; I don't recall any mention of this publication and the use of the Martelli tables for line of position:
Martelli's Navigational Tables: A Rapid Method of Finding the Position Line and for Solving Spherical Triangle Problems
There are a number of USNI letters describing "how-to" that may have, in fact, led to the above publication.
