speed side (see 2nd picture: lower w. "WAC" / STATUTE Miles and
upper w. "SECTIONAL" / STATUTE).  The azimuth circle rotates
freely and is graduated into 360°. The transparent portion is
frosted so that it can be written on with a pencil.

   Formulas for Wind Triangle Solution w.
    TC = True Course
    WCA = Wind Correction Angle
    TH = True Heading
    VAR = Variation
    DEV = Deviation
    CH = Compass Heading
    MC = Magnetic Course
