I also have an updated model that has a way to set to your exact latitude and an easy way to set the LHA Aries. It is identified as Computer, Air Navigation, Celestial Azimuth, Type CP-300/U FSN 6605-557-0778. Also marked "U. S. Property."
It differs from the 2102-D in that the scale is slightly smaller, and the altitude scale goes down to minus ten degrees, in case you are shooting the sun from a high altidude B-52. Due to extenction, the only body that can be observed below a zero altitude is the sun and you hardly need a device to identify the sun.)
