1st picture = 1st Side of the Slide
& CALCULATOR SIDE of the Flight Computer:
=========================================
The CALCULATOR of the computer consists of a special circular
slide rule with 10..100 scales for multiplication and division.
The associated third scale is calibrated in hours and minutes.
o Time, Ground Speed, Distance Problems
o Fuel Consumption Problems
o Altimeter Correction
o Airspeed Correction Problem
o Density Altitude
o Drift Correction for Off Course Problems
o Conversion Indexes
o Common Multiplication and Division
o Rate of Climb and Descent
2nd picture = WIND SIDE of the Flight Computer:
===============================================
The WIND SIDE of the computer consists of a rotating azimuth
and a rectangular grid that slides up and down through the
azimuth. The sliding grid has two sides, a low speed and a high
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.
o Solution of Wind Vector Triangles,
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
CC = Compass Course
o Drift on Multiple Headings
o Half Scale Wind Triangles
o Radius of Action Wind Triangles
o Off Course Problems
REMARKS:
=================================================================
This P O C K E T Flight Computer looks like Model »CSG-2A«,
the "NAVIGATOR"-Version, but smaller. Also made of aluminum and
it came in a brown leather case with a ( 64 p.) instruction book.
