Swissair Navigator computer
Does anyone out there have a manual for operating the old manual "Swissair Navigator" computer? I found one on the web and now it is in my hands, but no manual.
Any help is appreciated.

It's a very special whizz wheel, calibrated to Geneva Mean Time with a serrated edge for cutting blocks of Toblerone.
The item is relatively cheap to buy but because it is considered a precision instrument servicing is essential every 2000Nms and this can only be carried out by a approved service centre and costs an arm and a Toblerone.

Gee, just the other day I was trying to work a pressure pattern navigation problem on the ProLine 21 kit in the Global Express. Couldn't get it done, so I want one, too.

What type of HRRA were you using?
To do it right, you gotta have one of those.
Maybe that's why ProLine 21 couldn't do it. 
Which is necessary for pressure pattern flying, Nice catch, 411A
But, funny, when they re-equipped the C-5's rad alt in early 90s, it was a HRRA. Interesting on a crossing and bored to watch absolute altitude change with pressure patterns.
