It would be neat having devices (working models) that were used in the war such as you are referring to. They also had a thing-of-a-gig called a "was/is". Maybe it is the same item you are talking about or one that does something else, I can't remember.

what you are talking about is an is/was, and this is old news here at subsim - many of us have made our own and use them regularly

the original thread, including pdfs for making your own

original instructions for using it

note, this tool is not the same as a spread angle calculator

An is/was it is/was then.

I had read about it's use in one of my books, forgot which one, maybe "Clear the Bridge", about the Tang. Anyway I checked out the link and I have a new project now in trying to make one.

I thank you for providing the link and for setting me straight on the correct name.

Thanks to all the victims, er, I mean volunteers. I'll send you a PM with the download link in it on Monday. What I have atm is a replica of what is on the Torsk, but I can think of some improvements.

Clearing a spot for it in my S-boat. Hope my TDC operator is up to it. He just missed four of four in a Dick O'Kane. Shooting torpedoes is harder in RFB and the sugar boat! No ice cream for him tonight though...
