    I have a all metal Japanese sextant from e-bay that the owner said got him
    across the pacific several times(made by a: "Measure All Company" ?), its
    no C.Plath but it reads out to 10" of arc and as far as I can tell I am the
    limiting factor when it comes to sights. I would really like to find a
    bubble attachment for it; (1)does anyone have any suggestions? & (2)what is
    the best accuracy you can expect with a bubble, is it worth the bother?

    C.Plath frame; Cassens and Plath handle (because it can be completely taken
    apart); Cassens and Plath horizon shades (larger than C.Plath); C.Plath
    Bubble attachment (earlier version with the adjustable bubble - a superb
    piece of engineering and craftsmanship); Cassens and Plath or C.Plath 4 x
    40 scope and a 6 x 30 for optional use.

    Ok, that's a start. Anyone else care to wade in?

    Robert
