Probably covered somewhere, but... In the upper left corner of the Nav Chart are two 'pull downs'..."Seite 1... and 2" . The title is "Knoten in Meter Pro Minute". I am guessing that refers to speed in the water for number of propeller turns... for Single Screw and Twin Screw operations.

Is that correct? If not...educate me, please...

That's the conversion charts for knots into (kilo)meters.

Top are the hours (for chart 1) and minutes (chart 2)
Speed is on the left hand side and traveled (kilo)meters can be found in the table.

Nah, those are simply tables with speed so you don't have to do the math, just plot your intercept course. Very useful btw.
