Hi Tony,
I don’t know how that one was made, but I’ve created a number of nomograms similar to it. They are called Clark’s nomograms, where the outer two scales are curved. I think this form is more beautiful and easier to read than the more common type of nomogram made with three vertical straight-line scales.
Attached are the notes I made after studying the book cited at the end.

Dear Roger,
Thank you for posting yet another variant of the azimuth nomogram (though it is for the Sun only). I'm really interested how did they do it?
Regards,
Tony
