Thanks for these documents go to Bill Berry, Test Engineer, who continues to use them in his current job for teaching.  According to Bill,

"It turns out that math is math, whether you're talking about ships, aircraft, submarines, tanks, whatever. And OP 1700 has been used by me to plot out aircraft navigation and geometry. An aircraft merely adds altitude, either above Mean Sea Level or above the WGS-84 ellipsoid, and also adds its derivatives. I like OP 1700 because my keyboard doesn't need any of those fancy Greek letters that mathematicians in universities can't seem to live without."

Previous to OP1700 all the FC symbols were Greek and your typewriter had to have those characters on the keyboard or you could not write FC problems with it. The USN changed about 1960 or 1962 when the MK 68 system came out and Greek was no longer used.
