it isn't 40 years ago but more like 30 years-Sorry
End edit

What I remember is that you say a degree with words like 000=North, 005 North, by North by East North and 010

I also remember my father saying to me..You better learn it before summer, because I'm going to use it. It was thereafter we had this discussion.
