Bob, nice vacations to you! :)
While you relax I've hacked this ugly slide rule with the scales borrowed here. The hack is inspired by this DIY project.
As a toy it gives me sin(60°)/tan(25°)=1.86 which looks reasonable.
Yes, ergonomics is AWFULL, that's why I desperately wait for your project! :)
Regards,
Tony
