David,
There's a lot of fun to be had trying to figure out how this unusual kind of nomogram works. My conclusion can be found at http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx/Great-Circle-Sailing-Chart-Stuart-jan-2016-g34260
I also found it odd that Lindbergh worked in statute rather than nautical miles. It would seem to be a lot more trouble to do things in that way. My comments on this very interesting chart can be found here http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx/Great-Circle-Sailing-Chart-Stuart-nov-2016-g37187
