Hello There, Thanks for the response. I suspect, as you do, that the trunnion angle is 0-degrees when the mirror face is at a 45-deg angle to the shaft axis. In every diagram or line drawing I've encountered, the mirror is depicted at approximately 45-degrees, regardless of the SLOS angle as...

I asked a broad question to first find someone who knew the Sextant itself. Now I'll ask a specific question. When the trunnion angle is reading 0-deg, what is the angle between the face of the movable Trunnion mirror and the Shaft axis? The documentation describes only the mirror Y-axis, aka...

Thanks for trying, Indy.

I'm trying to determine how the Sextant is operating in the P23 scenario. Is anyone available who either programmed this, or is familiar with the code?

I'll have to check my stash against those sites, but I doubt I have any additional items beyond those. BTW, are there any dimensioned drawings of the Sextant available? If not, I'll have to try NARA in the hope they have recovered from their COVID woes. I'm trying to find the dimensions of the...

Hi RC, Thanks for responding. Not looking for any checklists, at the moment. I was offering to upload what I have, as they along with User's Guides seems to provide the most info. Also, I was hoping that there was an upload site here, already.
