NAUTICAL MILES O - 160 (OR 0 - 80): This scale is for use with world Aeronautical
charts 1:000,000 (OR 1:500,000) and
enables the direct reading of distance in nautical miles.
RADIALS0-45:These radiate from either
side of the centre of the baseline, at 5' intervals to 45",and are used to
determine the alteration to a heading to fly direct to destination from an
off course "fix". It supersedes the 1 in 60 method.
ARCS 80 - 0 - 80 n.m (OR 40 - 0 - 40).: These bisect the
RADIALS at intervals and are used to determine the distance flown and
distance to fly from an en route "fix".

GROUND SPEED, TIME, DISTANCE COMPUTER :
The central circular slide rule enables the pilot
to solve problems involving time, speed and distance. The triangular index, A
positioned at the "60 minute" graduation on the rotating scale, is known as the
SPEED INDEX The outer fixed scale is known as the MILE SCALE and the inner
rotating scale the TIME SCALE.
