For the navigator who has everything... (they need), and now desires a bit of real luxury. This tool simply divides any interval into ten equally spaced intervals at a simple opening of the dividers — or divides it into 5 equal intervals, or 6, or 3, etc. It is a stainless steel, high quality instrument. Used for position plotting on small scale charts (such as weather maps), converting seconds scale on a chart to decimal minutes, interpolating loran TDs or other (old-school) hyperbolic nav LOPS, and any other interpolation application. This tool can also be used to very quickly set up a grid or make graph paper at any chosen decimal scale. If you have such a wonderful tool, you will certainly find many convenient applications for it in the nav station. Note on quality. There are similar devices on the market in the $180 to $200 price range that look similar but are not as well made, nor as precise. The "Made in Germany" signature should identify the higher quality product.
