I just bought the polhemus cpu-41/p Celestial computer with all the templates and manual. I have the manual. It's quite complex. I am still learning how to use it. I could make you a pfd of the manual if you like. Bee

William L. Polhemus was an Air Force B-58 navigator who designed the computer for high speed flight. You can see more about this at the following link. http://www.thisdayinaviation.com/tag/william-l-polhemus/
