Octavo, blue cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 191 pp. Very Good+, in a Very Good+ dust jacket. From dust jacket: From the moment we start thinking about sailing offshore, we're taught the sextant is a device that is not to be tampered with. This can be risky business for the ocean voyager, for celestial navigation can be only as precise as the instrument itself. Daily use, a bump, a jostle, temperature, humidity, even long periods of non-use, can throw the instrument off. And if that most catastrophic of all events occurs and the sextant is dropped, most navigators will have a real problem. The Sextant Handbook, Adjustment, Repair, Use and History tackles all those problems and much more in a simple, easily understood manner. Put in the simplest terms, The Sextant Handbook is not a book on how to navigate, but rather a book on how to make a sextant "user friendly." It is designed to not only fill the gaps about maintenance and repair left by the world's great books of navigation, but to make the beginning and expert navigator alike completely familiar with the bits and pieces and workings of the instrument, as well as comfortable and competent at keeping the device working properly. Most imporant, the book provides specific step-by-step instruction and information about: assembly and disassembly, vital adjustments, oiling and cleaning, immersion bath procedures, emergency silvering techniques, how to buy a used Sextant, where to find, how much to pay, discovering the dropped Sextant, five rules to avoid problems, reconditioning costs, making an emergency latitude hook, astigmatizers, double star prism, rough weather sighting techniques, sextant manufacturer addresses, using the Rude Star Finder.
