From Cotters's PhD thesis:
Hutchings, Lieut C H USN (1942) Tables of Computed Star Altitudes and True Azimuths. Proc of US Naval Institute vol 68 Washington.
Cotter also gives a reference to a 1946 paper that may be of interesst when researching 249 and 1618 but I cannot copy and paste so will have to tyoe it manually if anyone is interested.......
