It solved the so called celestial triangle accurately to about one minute of arc and quickly enough for aerial navigation. The solution of the celestial triangle used the John Napier rules for solution of square angled spherical triangles. The sliderule was constructed as two concentric tubes with spiral scales, like the Fuller slide rules, with yet another tube on the outside carrying the cursors. During the Second World War, a closely related version was produced in Germany by Dennert & Pape as the HR1 , MHR1 and HR2. Category Navigational equipment ... more details

Sometimes, they were made to slide by one another sometimes, a groove was made in the side of a common two foot joint rule, and a thin sliding piece was inserted, with Coggeshall s lines added on that side but the most usual and handy way, was to have one of the rulers slide along a groove made along the middle of the other, as shown in the figure below. ref 1728 ref Image Coggeshall slide rule.jpg center 550px The most common form of a Coggeshall sliderule Coggeshall first described this apparatus in a paper he released in London titled, Timber measure by a line of more ease, dispatch and exactness, then any other way now in use, by a double scale after the countrey measure, by the length and quarter of the circumference in round timber, and by the length and side of the square in squared timber, and square equal in flat timber as also stone measure and gauging of vessels by the same near and exact way, likewise a diagonal scale of 100 parts in a quarter of an inch, very easy both to make and use. ref name Cajori Cajori, Florian . http www.remanley.clara.net cajori.doc History of the Logarithmic Sliding Rule .

A slide chart is a hand held device, usually of paper, cardboard, or plastic, for conducting simple calculations or looking up information. A circular slide chart is sometimes referred to as a wheel chart or Volvelle . Unlike other hand held mechanical calculating devices such as slide rules and addiator s, which have been replaced by electronic calculators and computer software, wheel charts and slide charts have survived to the present time. There are a number of companies who design and manufacture these devices. Unlike the general purpose mechanical calculators, slide charts are usually devoted to carrying out a particular specialized calculation, or displaying information on a single product or a particular process. For example, the CurveEasy wheel chart displays information related to spherical geometry calculations and the Prestolog calculator is used for cost profit calculations. Another example of a wheel chart is the Planisphere , which shows the location of stars in the sky for a given location, date, and time. Slide charts are often associated with particular sports, political campaigns or commercial companies. For example, a pharmaceutical company may create wheel charts printed with their company name and product information for distribution to medical practitioners. Slide charts are common collectables. One company that designs and produces informational engagement tools in both the sliderule style and wheel style is NYC based http www.flexigroup.com Flexigroup .
