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.
