Default books on the nordon bomb sight?

Hi all,
Are there any good books on the Nordon bomb sight? Any detail description on
how it functions and its internals? We have put a Nordon in our B-25 and I
would like to know more about it.

This isn't quite what you asked after, but very interested related reading:

Stephen L. McFarland, "America's Pursuit of Precision Bombing, 1910-1945,"
Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington and London, 1995, ISBN 1-56098-407-4

Much of it, I'm afraid, is about how _poorly_ the Norden worked.

The nordon bombsight was a significant source of contention between the US
and the UK in 1940. By the time the US had relaxed the UK was losing
interest. There are the remains of a US bomb sight in our local museum but
it is not clear whether its is a Nordon.
