Vehicular Land Navigation System C1

I found mention of it on a navigation tech site. No practical facts to ad to the great detail you blokes have already other than that comment in an historical overview of various early systems before it launched into the subsequent progress of the art to the present time.

There appear to be many systems tried and actually produced by various countries but, as far as we know, nothing seems to have reached universal daily operation until the inertial systems and subsequently GPS.

I did not bookmark it (and I clear my history daily) but will have a look to see if I can get it up again.

Assuming the photo Ed posted of the 7 main components of this system, was in fact the standard basic system for all installations, we might have a rough basis available to us for establishing a size for the production run of this system.

The tricky bit will be in how many of these individual components bear their own data plates with serial numbers. For this, we would assume an order for 1,000 systems (not withstanding spares) would mean 1,000 of each item would be produced.

Brian: You mentioned you might have most of the components making up a system. If any of them have data plates, can you post the relevant serial numbers from them? The highest available number on any of them should tell us how far all the other bits should have gone as well.
