Yes they can be separated but they look better when combined. As for the pictorial example, look at this:

- The middle wheel 40 mark (blue) aligns with the 3000 yards mark in the outer wheel (red). That's what we set up.

- As a result, the 20 mark (Pink) in the same middle wheel gives us a read of 1600 in the outer wheel (Cyan). That's what we read.

- Moving the inner wheel 1 minute and 10 seconds mark (yellow) to align with that distance (1600), we can read in the outer scale the result 4.1 (Hidden here by the protruding arm of the inner wheel).

Hope that helps. the german wheel works the same, but the scales are in different places.
