Parallel Plotter
This popular instrument consists of a plotter mounted on a roller and is used for measuring or laying off courses and distances on a nautical chart. The plotter contains distance scales at 1:20,000, 1:40,000, and 1:80,000 to fit the N.O.S. Coast and Harbor Charts, as well as an inch scale.
The instrument includes a semi-circular protractor for measuring courses and bearings against a meridian on the chart, and two quarter circle protractors for measuring courses and bearings against a parallel of latitude.
Courses and parallel lines are transferred and kept parallel by means of two rollers which are mounted on a slide axis.
Instructions included.
