I am sorry to be a bother again, but I still have a problem. The CHO-T link
results in a 404 Error. Since I was able to read the Heath manual, I doubt
my pdf system's at fault.

Ah yes, I put it up in a hurry and made a mistake....the link is now fixed.
I hope the file now comes out ok for you.
I thought you and perhaps others might find the Heath Brochure useful. Its
dated 1937 on the frontierspiece, and 1936 somewhere else.I found it
particularily interesting as I have a Heath sextant, which is a lovely piece
of history to hold. However my SNO-T is very much my preferred instrument of
use.
As far as cleaning and maintenance goes, my approach is lens tissue for the
mirrors and shades, a soft cloth for the frame and metal parts, regular
brushing of the teeth, and the lightest oiling of the teeth...infrequent,
just enough to prevent metal to metal contact. I must confess that my
sextant is rarely used at sea, and never in rough conditions .(Thats what
GPS's are for??) Heresy in this group, perhaps. But the truth.
