Watch with slide rule

Q1 How is the slide rule used?

A1 A. General Calculation Functions

1) Multiplication
[Example]
12 x 15
[Operation]
Align 12 on the outer scale with 10 on the inner scale.
Then, 15 on the inner scale corresponds to 18 on the outer scale.
Take into account the position of the decimal point and add one zero to
obtain 180. Note that with the scales of this watch, the position of the
decimal point cannot be obtained.

2) Division
[Example]
300 / 15
[Operation]
Align 30 on the outer scale with 15 on the inner scale.
Then, 10 on the inner scale corresponds to 20 on the outer scale.
Take into account the position of the decimal point to obtain 20.

3) Reading Ratios
[Example]
50 / 20 = 30 / x
[Operation]
Align 50 on the outer scale with 20 on the inner scale.
Then, 30 on the outer scale corresponds to 12 on the inner scale.
At this point, the proportion for every value on the inner and outer
scales is "50:20".

4) Determining Square Root

[Example]
Square root of 169
[Operation]
Turn the outer scale slowly and find a value that corresponds to both
16.9 on the outer scale and 10 on the inner scale.
In this example, 16.9 on the outer scale corresponds to 13 on
the inner scale, and 10 on the inner scale corresponds to 13

Obtain the rate of fuel consumption (liters / hour) when the running time
is 5 hours and the fuel consumption is 35 liters.
[Operation]
Align 35 on the outer scale with "5:00" on the inner scale (time scale).
Then, the SPEED INDEX (MPH) on the inner scale corresponds to 70 on the
outer scale. Thus, the fuel consumption is 7 liters per hour.

5) Fuel consumption
[Example]
Obtain the fuel consumption required for a running when the rate of fuel
consumption is 6 liters per hour and the running time is 5 hours.
[Operation]
Align 60 on the outer scale with the SPEED INDEX (MPH) on the inner scale.
Then, "5:00" on the inner scale (time scale) corresponds to 30 on the
outer scale. Thus, the fuel consumption is 30 liters.

[Example]
Obtain the estimated running time when the rate of fuel consumption is
5 liters per hour and the running has 30 liters of fuel.
[Operation]
Align 50 on the outer scale with the SPEED INDEX (MPH) on the inner scale.
Then, 30 on the outer scale corresponds to "6:00" on the inner scale (time scale).
Thus, the estimated running time is 6 hours.

C. Navigation Calculator for sky sports

1) Time required
[Example]
Obtain the time required for the flight of an aircraft at 160 knots for 240
nautical miles.
[Operation]
Align 16 on the outer scale with the SPEED INDEX (MPH) on the inner scale.
Then, 24 on the outer scale corresponds to "1:30" on the inner scale (time scale).
Thus, the time required for the flight is 1 hours and 30 minutes.

2) Speed
[Example]
Obtain the knots (air speed) for 250 nautical miles with a flight time of
1 hour and 40 minutes.
[Operation]
Align 25 on the outer scale with "1:40" on the inner scale (time scale).
Then, the SPEED INDEX (MPH) on the inner scale corresponds to 15 on the
outer scale. Thus, the air speed for the flight is 150 knots.

3) Flight distance
[Example]
Obtain the air distance when the air speed is 180 knots and the flight
time is 40 minutes.
[Operation]
Align 18 on the outer scale with the SPEED INDEX (MPH) on the inner scale.
Then, 40 on the inner scale corresponds to 12 on the outer scale.
Thus, the air distance of the flight is 120 nautical miles.
