Bruce,
I was personally using the Time Sight at sea through 1944 and in USCG Licence exams through 1946, and there is no reason that i could not or would not use it today.

Hello All:
Frank,you recently posted a short note on time sights and I forgot to comment/ask question. So, did you write " time sights were used until the 1940s" for longitude"? Not the USN?? I vaguely recollect Mixter says early 1900s?
All have a good day!
Bruce
