The SLA-1 (3cm PAR) needed more hands than three.
There were two tubes, one for elevation one for azimuth. On each tube you had two buttons for servos (up/down and left/right) and a two way self centring switch for gain control.
With your remaining hand you wrote down the headings with a chinagraph!
