I was not particularly happy with the quality of the JPEG version of
this sheet especially as it prints on a letter size sheet. So I sat down
and wrote a postscript program to print the working area (the plotting
circle) and so get better detail. To make the result a bit more portable
I've converted the result to PDF. Feel free to use these for personal
use. Let me know of any errors or omissions.

There are 2 PDF files, one for a full 10-inch diameter circle on an 11x17
sheet. The second is scaled to fit on a 8.5x11 sheet. Each is about 624Kb
in size (the postscript program from which they are made is only 6980 bytes
including comments). I'll try to upgrade these with scales and nomographs
like the original as time permits. They print well on the laser printers
here at work, but I suspect that quality will suffer on a deskjet or similar
device with less resolution.
Comments or problems to wescott@conterra.com (no need to bother the list
at large with them.
