[LL0] & [LL00] are keyed to A ( !!! ) ; LL1, LL2 & LL3 are keyed to D
The DEFINITIVE FORMS for the HYPERBOLIC FUNCTIONS are:
CosH(X) = ( exp(+X) + exp(-X) ) / 2 <== this is the "Chain Line"
SinH(X) = ( exp(+X) - exp(-X) ) / 2 ( eg. suspension bridge )
TanH(X) = SinH(X) / CosH(X)
exp(X) = SinH(X) + CosH(X)
1 = CosH2(X) - SinH2(X)
Using the Hyperbolic Functions:
Start with value on the Sh scales ==>> reading SinH on D scale,
start with value on the D scale ==>> reading ArcSinH on Sh.
Start with value on the Th scale ==>> reading TanH on D scale,
start with value on the D scale ==>> reading ArcTanH on Th.
The scales are identical to DIETZGEN-1735 ...
The SR came in a brown plastic case with missing flap. This model is
made of mahogany with scales on celluloid veneer. The CURSOR-BLOCKS,
made of CELLULOID where detoriated ...
... and had to be replaced by home-made PVC ones.
Same "CELLULOID DISEASE" happened also (e.g.) to the DIETZGEN 1732 ...
************************************************************************
Celluloid, first produced in 1872, was the 1st used plastic world wide.
It consists of a mix of cellulose nitrate & camphor. The plasticizer
camphor is given off over time and the nitrate breaks up under the
influence of oxygen & moisture and transforms to nitric acid. Both
effects destroy the material - and the acid is the reason why the metal
of frame and spring get brittle & rusty.
