Hamilton Model 23 Primary Reference; AN 05-35A-1

[damfuzzy]

I have recently acquired an early (P1102) Hamilton Model 23 chronometer watch. From my web research, I have found that the document which provides the overview of parts and disassembly of this watch is titled "Parts Catalog Type AN 5742-1 Navigational Stop Watch" under government document number AN 05-35A-1. Unfortunately, I cannot find any availability of this document in the open web literature, commercial web entities, or even in the NAWCC Library holdings. Would someone have any advice as to how to obtain a copy of this document, please? Thank you for any information you might be able to supply. As this my first post to the NAWCC Forum, I apologize for any lapse in forum protocol on my part.

Sincerely,

If you got the book military timepieces by Whitney from page 348-357 there info and a diagram of the Hamilton navigational stopwatch model 23

Thank you kindly for that information R r! I have a copy of Whitney on order. It will be extra nice when it arrives to see it covers the "Model 23" (aka "AN 5742-1" and/or "Ham Part #37297"(black dial) and/or "Ham Part No.#37298"(white dial).

Oh, for others, here is the best image of the front cover of report AN 05-35A-1 that I could find.
