Detail from hand-written, hand-drawn masterpiece

Nomogram by a sea cadet, Danish Naval Academy, 1823-25, 193 pages

Filename: Kobke-naval-cadet-nomogram-hires.htm



This page is just to present in detail an exquisite hand-drawn nomogram. See the parent page for more details.

If this doesn't impress you, try drawing something similar. The x-axis is drawn with a log scale. Note how smoothly the spacing changes. The sslightest error stands out a mile... and I can see only one faint one here. (The diagram is a nomogram... a quick way to convert quantities, do a calculation.)
