"Nicol�s de Hilster"has recently joined this list, and posted a message (subject: [NavList 1733] German Sextants). I would like to say "welcome aboard" to Nicolas, who is a hydrographic surveyor from the Netherlands. He attended the recent symposium on historic instruments at Greenwich, and brought with him his modern replica of the Spiegelboog, a development in Holland of the cross-staff and backstaff, merged, with a mirror. He has published an account in the recent Bulletin of the Scientific Instrument Society.
