Historical 2x3 bearing only method in 1941

[ljqcn101]

Dunno if anyone noticed this but in 1941 US Navy Maneuvering Board Manual, there's a bearing only method in case XI called "TO DETERMINE COURSE, SPEED, AND RELATIVE POSITION OF A TARGET BY BEARINGS ALONE".

And also the same method located in 2001 Maneuvering Board Manual, Chapter 6, example 25. (https://www.sliderulemuseum.com/Manuals/Pub1310_RadarNavigationAndManeuveringBoardManual.p df)
