From a tube watchers point of view, you homed in on the reciprocal bearing of the active runway using Eureka to be overhead at 1500ft. When overhead you switched to the babs freqency'. (Did the tower then give you a heading?) You then called turn 60 degrees right maintain 1500ft calling ranges at 2 mile intervals, at 8 miles the call was "8 miles turn left left". The pilot commenced a level rate 1 left turn and you called the range at 1 mile intervals. This turn should put you on the runway centre line at 5 miles.
Now Babs was what was in the little Standard van and you are interpretating its signals on a Rebbeca set (aurally for solo pilots) visually from a small crt. As the rebbeca was for both eureka and babs, the crt had scales of 12 miles, 60 and 120. We were taught to call either right or left left (and steady?). (I think slightly crept in if we did not want a large correction).
At 5 miles began the continuous patter to balance the two arms displayed on the crt with distance calls and mandatory calls with height checks on the level miles. After calling "1 mile 300 ft" we were supposed to shut up!
