Are you imperial or metric?

If Imperial 3 min at 500 yds = 5 knots
If metric 3min 15 sec at 500m = 5 knots

So now you've got all three pieces of info it's easy to see how the Nomograph works.

Use the ruler to draw a line connecting 3 min, 500 yards and 5 knots. See how they all line up on the diagonal?

Now if you only know two pieces of the info you just connect them two, but expand your line and the nomograph will calculate the third for you. Simple.

I love this forum. your responses are Very helpfull and i think im abou to restart my career about say early '43 (so i can get SJ radar) and fire up the TDC. the WO needs some R&R after his horrible aim on a stationary target. BTW im Imperial.

Me too buddy. Everything I printed above I learnt off here earlier.

AFAIK SJ radar is available fairly early on in TM.

I seriously recommend the SCAF mod I mentioned earlier. It's a LOT easier to align the top of the funnel on the stadiemeter than the mast. The recognition manual even has a nice red mark for you
