Ah! A LINE!

Thanks!

ADDIT: so let me make sure I got this right. I'm following along with Cap'n Scurvy's fantastic "High Realism Tutorial. pdf" which if included in one of these mods, and got to the point where you estimate speed, and it would seem the nomograph is perfect at that point?

Got a true bearing to target and distance and plotted it, ran chronometer for 2m 58s and then rechecked range and true bearing: measured distance between first plot point and second = 500 (yards I suppose it is).

Then I took my ruler and drew that line from just less than 3 on the far right "time in minutes" through 500 and thence on to 5.25 knots.

Correct?
