[WIP] [REL] DR3 Slide Rule

Tycho · 02-21-15, 05:26 AM

What the future users prefer?

The black ring will rotates always.

But for the pointer I have some choices with compromises.

1 - with torpedo depth dial.
Will rotates only if you have loaded torpedo in tube

2 - with bearing dial.
Will rotates always, but you need to switch TDC to OFF.
This also leads to rotation of AOB dial. And when you switch TDC back to ON,
bearing will go to where scope is pointing, but AOB will stay to its new value.
And you need to be always careful about this.

3 - with spread angle dial (my choice).
Will rotates always, but you need to switch the tubes to salvo mode.

Spread angle dial would be my choice.

very nice slide rule , Tycho

i believe that these days back ,all sides were curring many many of every kind slide rules were availiable at their days

ps: something off topic but about slide rules(excuse me for this Tycho,if there is any problem,please,moderators remove my post):
i was looking for long time for templates for two german slide rules but i had no luck at all on searching.
the slide rules were called :
Rundschieber für Auswanderungsverfahren “A”
and
Rundschieber für Auswanderungsverfahren “B”
does anybody have any links or templates for the above slide rules?

hello Tycho,

thank you for the link, yes i know this site , in fact i 'discover' these sliderules in this site and i am looking for some HD and accurate templates in order to get them in game. (but till today i haven't discover any nice templates or any nice images of the real thing)

ps: yes, this site is a real treasure and the author is keep on updating it.i know that he has some real juicy stuff that he will publish when they are ready so stay tuned !

ps2: your sliderule works like charm and it is very handy ! very very nice addition but you must add a manual for the uses of this tool

Tycho, Thanks for your work is fantastic but I agree with Makman, should include a manual so it can be used properly. a greeting and thank you very much for your addon

Tycho · 03-01-15, 08:09 AM

I've no capacity to write properly, a user manual!

All, I can do, is to take Angriffsscheibe_Handbuch_3, and to rewrite its examples to DR3 Slide Rule, plus a few mathematical examples.
Possibly, in a series of posts, to which I'll add links in the first post. But, it will take me some time.

For those, who are used to working with logarithmic tools, it is easy to understand, how to use examples from Angriffsscheibe Handbuch manual with DR3 Slide Rule.
