Frank, many thanks for those references. I am aware that plotting lines of position is the modern method, but I was trying to figure out how to get location simply from doing the math on the numbers, and without doing any plotting. I was sure that this had been solved somewhere along the line and I will dive in to those historical references. If you have any others that you recommend, I am most interested.
