SLIDE-RULE BEZEL FUNCTION

The slide rule function of the top ring operates by rotating the outer ring.
The inner ring does not move. The outer ring is always related to “distance” or “speed”, or any data that varies with time. The inner ring only notes units of time.

Outer Ring

On the outer ring, the figure “10” represents factors or multiples of 10, such as 0.1, 1.0, 10, or 100

Inner Ring

On the inner ring, “MPH” (mile per hour) refers to the “speed index”. This index is used to calculate the speed involving any data per hour. On the inner ring, “STAT” (statute miles) and “NAUT” (nautical miles) are for the conversion of distance units.

The following examples serve as a guide on how to use the slide rule.

Speed Calculation:

What speed is required to go 10 nautical miles in 15 minutes?
Known Factors: Distance: 10 nautical miles Time: 15 minutes
Align the “10” arrow on the outer ring with the “15” on the inner ring.
The speed required can be found directly above the “MPH” marking on the inner ring
The answer: 40 nautical miles per hour

Time Calculation:

How long will it take to go 10 nautical miles at a speed of 40 miles per hour?

Known Factors:

Speed: 40 miles per hour Distance: 10 nautical miles
Align “40” on the outer ring with the mark “MPH” marking on the inner ring.
The time required can be found directly below the “10” arrow on the outer ring, which is “15” on the inner ring.
The answer: 15 minutes

Distance Calculation:

How far can you travel at 40 miles per hour for 15 minutes?

Known Factors:

Speed: 40 nautical miles per hour Time: 15 minutes
Align “40” on the outer ring directly above the mark “MPH” on the inner ring.
The distance traveled can be obtained above the “15” marker on the inner ring. The number indicated on the outer ring is “10”.
The answer: the distance traveled is 10 nautical miles.

Unit conversion:

To convert distance from nautical miles to statute miles and kilometers

Known Factor: The distance to convert is 10 nautical miles

Align the “10” arrow on the outer ring above the “NAUT” on the inner ring.
The conversion in statute miles (11.5) is found above the inner ring “STAT” marking, and the conversion to kilometers (18.5) is found above the inner ring “MPH” marking.
