Metric nomograph?

[Edit: Oops. Looks likes there's one in the download section. Just had to tunnel down through a directory or two to get to the image.]

Does anyone have a lead on an image of metric nomograph? I'm manually plotting on a physical maneuvering board that has a nomograph in yards, not meters. I'm doing my own calculations to determine speed, times, and distances; it's a bit of hassle.

Thanks.

You probably have sorted this out allready. But just incase you wanted to tinker with it. The solution to turn this into a metric scale is to 'simply' shift the range scale along it's length direction until the numbers fit the time and speed values. The line does not need to be stretched or anything. A shift 'in-place', so not towards the other lines, will do.

If I was working from an Imperial nomograph, I'd probably replace the yard numbers with their metric equivalents; I'm not sure how to do what you're suggesting.

I did make a nice printable metric nomograph from the image I found. I'll upload that if I can.
