The problem with your idea Pisces is that the ST scale (ie., small values of Sine and Tangent) doesn't correspond exactly with the Sine scale.

For example, on my Pickett N200-ES Trig, the S and ST scales are next to each other.

6 degrees S and .6 degrees ST line up pretty much exactly. THere is a slight difference between 10 degrees S and 1 degree ST.

By the time you get to 2 degrees on the ST scale, you are at 20.5 on S and at 3 degrees you are at 31.5 on S. At 5 degrees ST, you are at 62 degrees S.

There should be a separate ST scale on the wheel if you are going to deal with small angle values.
