Here is a link to a 'nautical slide rule 105', not sure if this is the same or similar device that Joe mentioned.

The navy rule was adapted for aircraft, and is known as an e6b. Its a radial slide rule, with C and D scales, with conversion factors for all kinds of units. Plus the board let you compute wind corrections.
