So lets get those whiz wheel templates out

Immacolata · 03-22-07, 05:11 AM

Its the same everytime. All traces of a working whiz wheel to print out are vanished from this earth.

If anyone has stored a nice, preferably vectorized whiz wheel for printing out, now its the time to let us know

gifs and bmps and jpgs are no good, they dont scale.

Whats a whiz wheel? A slide calculator that helps you get a precise AOB very fast. Makes manual targetting loads of fun. I use a cutout paper and a calculator to make AOB readings faster.

Since I have never been able to find this for download; I have just finished recreating Etchasketh's Bearing/AoB tool discussed in "Wazoo's Manual Charting & Targeting Tutorial [v 2.3]".

I recreated this by importing the image from the .doc file into Paintshop Pro X as a layer. I then began building layers, tracing the original components onto the new layers. The result is a very serviceable AoB wheel.

I have uploaded the file both in paintshop pro format (.pspimage) with all layers unmerged. I have also merged the base and wheel and saved each in .jpg format for those who can't access the paintshop format.

Both files can be downloaded at http://hosted.filefront.com/cdrake66/

All credit for this AoB wheel goes to Etchasketch. I simply put in the time to rebuild it and I wanted to offer it for others to enjoy.

Regards,
Chris

The other wheel (IIRC the Etchasketch wheel is the 3-ring wheel?) is still here ... http://www.spidermine.com/SHIII/wheel.swf . It's a "live" wheel on-screen, but I printed this one out and made/cut the smaller wheel from a copy, and it prints much more nicely than the 3-ring wheel.
