Hi joegrundman, I don't know of any advantages this calculator has over the original Is-Was one used, As I haven't tried one yet - I Use CapnScurvys method that is linked in the top post but wanted one with more resolution than his posted one.
If you see my second post I am working on creating a replica Is-Was calculator not necessarily based on the original but to match the styling of the AoB Calculator.

Just to show the results of using Perspex - This will last indefenitly. (Maybe time to try one using Brass - Sweet)
