Torpedo calculator

Some of you may have seen this in the general topics area.I was just wondering if anybody had one or could manufacture one?

looks good but is it RN or USN issue?

Looks like it is English from 1930. You can - barely - make out the following in the lower right under "Greek Slide Rule - "Modified for Angular Spread, HMS Montclare 07/09/30"

Barkhorn.

Hmmm...that date must actually be 1950 - as according to this link - the HMS Montclare was purchased by the RN in 1939 - then converted to a sub depot ship in 1944 and decommisioned in 1954.

It's RN issue and it is currently held at the RN submarine museum in Gosport.Can anyone make one?

Somebody out there is capable of making one-but who is going to answer the call?

Imagin having a calculator like that in your pencil case at school in the 1940s :rotfl:
