OK, I don't really know why I did this, as I only have SHIII, and the basic unit of measure is meters instead of yards, but here is my attempt at making the "SUBMARINE ATTACK COURSE FINDER MK. 1 MOD. 3":
So, what do you think? On edit: Big tip o' the hat to Hitman. There is a *SLIGHT* size difference, but it is minimal if you print the .pdf's at 94% size, and print the slide rule .bmp's fitted to the paper (8.5x11).

I can however easily resize the images to 94% of their current size with Photoshop. Think there will be no noticeable quality difference Quote:
I am thinking about creating a version for SH3, simplified and with metres as units, as well as with Kriegsmarine emblems. Any interest?

HELL YES I'ld love to have one specifically for SHIII. By the way, Bill, I went over to Kinko's to use their laminator and I still ended up with bubbles when laminating my transparancies :{ There's no speed setting so I had to go "slow" by pulsing the on/off switch but that still didn't work out too well. |

I used the self stick laminating sheets. Put them sticky side up on the table, and put one of the wheels down on top of it, starting from one side. It came out without any bubbles.

Damn I didn't even think about using those and I bet that's what Bill was refering to in the first place.
*doh!* |

First, instead of having an 'arm' on the minute wheel, make it into a cursor. In other words, you would print out the minute wheel (the smallest of the three) on a transparency, with just a line radiating out from that wheel at the place where the arm comes out. I suggest this because when you print out the minute wheel as-is, the arm partially obscures the speed reading. In addition, another line not connected to the wheel, and with a small line crossing it at one end, on the same 'page'. This would be for an additional cursor, which would be helpful for aligning the bearing wheel with the distance scale on the large wheel (but isn't really necessary, just helpful).

Another idea, if you are handy with tools, is to print the wheels on those opaque white inkjet sticker sheets, then stick them to thin acrylic sheets. You then laminate the tops, and cut the acrylic to shape. That would make them absolutely rigid.

I have printed on Overhead Projector transparents and i had those laminated with a heavy lamination.
That is really rigid and still transparent like glass. And the printing is sharp and crisp. Only the biggest (background wheel) wheel is printed on a thick paper and heavy laminated. |
