Thank you to all !
I like to be accurate when I talk to people, espacilly when teaching school children, In my small town I have given many talks to groups on different subjects - mostly involving airplanes, navigation and kites. For my show and tell I have shown my different sextants from a plastic Davis mark 3 up to a Kollsman perascope aircraft sextant.
Good to know that when I said sextant that it was the correct word.
Thanks again.
