Hi folks, being an aviation computer nerd the scale resembles the back of a Jeppesen CB-1 computer taken from the inside back cover of my Jeppesen CR computer Manual/Workbook costing a whopping 3.00 dollars back in 1966! I have always been interested in that scale and I assume in addition to solving the wind problems in a weirdo way the scale was designed to solve other types of problems. Thanks much for that one and reply when able! Mike Burkes 626-833-1521 On Jun 14, 6:19�pm, "Gary J.
