Yes, you did understand me correctly.
Don't use a font too small, you might need to read it under
imperfect lighting conditions.

@all:

What I aim for is an useable model.
I don't need a historically correct copy.

Therefore I would opt for the direct reading with a transparent cosine
scale, because there are no alignment problems with a cursor or pointer.
And the whole thing then consists of two parts only.

Regards,
