9 Tachymetre 7. Using the TCHYMETRE scale The TCHYMETRE dial is mainly used to compute an average speed after noting how long it takes to travel a fixed distance (like one mile or one kilometer), but it can also be used to compute many other things. The dial is a logarithmic scale that uses this formula to compute: TCHYMETRE DIL = 300 / Elapsed Time In Seconds The chronograph second hand indicates 1/, 1/, 1/, 1,, 0 or 1,000 etc. units (miles, objects, pounds etc.). When stopped, the second hand points to the number on the TCHYMETRE scale by which the number of units (1,, 0 or 1,000 etc.) must be multiplied to obtain per-hour production rate or per-hour speed STRT/STOP STRT/STOP 0 STT STT Example No. 1 car covers one mile in seconds. The second hand, stopped as the mile marker is passed, reads 0 on the TCHYMETRE scale. verage speed of the car is 0 x 1, or 0 miles per hour. lthough decimal units (0 liters, 1 mile, kilometers) make computing simple, in practice, the TCHYMETRE scale can be used to calculate velocities and production rates from any number of units. Example No. To measuring something much slower, such as a bicycle, you must use a shorter distance because the elapsed time must fall within the second range. For this example, it took 3 seconds for a cyclist to travel 1/ of a mile. Reading the TCHYMETRE dial displays a speed of 0mph, but the cyclist only traveled 1/ of a mile, so the actual speed would be 1/ of that or an average speed of 5mph over the quarter mile.

10 Tachymetre 8. NOTE - The scale is valid for elapsed times from.8 seconds to 0 seconds. If the duration of the event is outside this range, then the answer on the dial is not valid. Short durations of under eight seconds can be extremely difficult to time accurately. Some of the following examples show ways to get around this limitation STRT/STOP 5 STRT/STOP 0 STT STT Example No. 3 copier makes copies in seconds. The sweep second hand was thus stopped at the -second mark, which coincides with the figure on the TCHYMETRE scale. The hourly rate of this copier is x, or 0 copies. Example No. manufacturing production line timed for seconds produces 7 parts. Stopped at the -second mark, the chronograph second hand points to 0 on the TCHYMETRE scale; the production rate of the machine is 0 x 7, or 8,0 parts per hour. More Examples: Suppose you wanted to measure the speed of a jet airplane. fter traveling kilometers, you noted that 0 seconds had elapsed. The TCHYMETRE dial displays, but you traveled kilometers, so the answer would be times that, or 0 km/hour. You can also measure other things, like fuel consumption. Suppose a pound of fuel took 8 seconds to burn. The chronograph second hand indicates on the TCHYMETRE dial that you are burning pounds of fuel per hour.

11 EB Flight Computer 9. The EB Flight Computer is based on the principle of the slide rule. The unit of measurement is the base logarithms (log). These instructions cover only the basics of using the EB Flight Computer Bezel/slide rule. more complete description may be found in your public library or on the internet. How to read the scale The most important technique to master is reading the scale. The numbered tick marks can represent a range of values. For example, on the scale on the face of the watch, the numeral to the left of the letters NUT can represent, or 0 or 00 or 3.0. The nine tick marks between the and each represent 1/ of the distance between and, or 0 and 3, or 00 and 30, or 3.0 and 3.5. So for 3.0 and 3.5 each one of the tick marks represents.05; for and, 0.5; for 0 and 3, 5; for 00 and 30,. You can see it is important that you keep track of the range that each interval represents. How to use the EB Flight Computer Bezel When doing calculations, the rotating bezel will represent the time and the face/dial the units (distance, pounds, gallons, etc.) 5 0 STT Let s try an example: You re in your car on the freeway traveling at 0 milesper-hour. You ve been traveling for.5 hours. How far have you gone? Solution: Turn the bezel so that the red numeral on the bezel (which represents 1 hour) is directly over the 0 on the face at o clock (which represents the 0 miles traveled in 1 hour). Directly below the numeral 5 (.5 hours) on the bezel you should see the numeral on the face. The represents the significant digits of the answer and we must decide whether there should be none, 1 or zeros after the.

12 1 EB Flight Computer. You can probably guess how many, because miles in.5 hours is obviously too little and 10 is obviously too much. So the answer must be 1 miles. Let s try another example: gain, you re going down the freeway at miles-per-hour. You ve been traveling at that speed for 1 minutes. How far have you traveled? Solution: Turn the bezel so that the numeral 0 (which represents 0 minutes) on the bezel is right above the number (which represents miles-per-sixty minutes). Now find the numeral on the bezel and look directly below it on the face. You will note that the is between the numerals and on the face. We must now interpolate. First we must decide whether the numerals and on the face represent and, 0 and 1, 00 and 10, etc. It s obvious that is too little and 00 is too big, but sometimes it s not so obvious. So here s another method. 5 3 STT t miles-per-hour ( miles in 0 minutes), you would have to travel over hours to go further than 00 miles. hours is 80 minutes. So the answer must have more than and less than digits. In other words, it must have 3 digits until you get above hours or 80 minutes. fter using the Flight Computer for a while these mental/estimates will become second nature (i.e. intuitive). Now that we ve done the mental calculation, we know that the answer must have 3 digits. Therefore must represent the number 0 and must represent the number 1. Since there are nine ticks between the and, there are ten divisions between them. Since they represent the difference between the numbers 0 and 1, which is, each tick must represent 1. Since the numeral on the bezel is above the eighth tick after

13 0 EB Flight Computer. the on the face, it represents 8. Therefore the distance traveled in 1 minutes at miles-perhour is or 8 miles. How to calculate distance and fuel usage Now that you know a few of the basics, you can start using the Flight Computer to estimate your distance or fuel usage in relation to time. Simply select the numeral on the bezel that represents the time interval and set the bezel so that number is directly above the numeral on the face represents the number of miles, kilometers, nautical miles or pounds of fuel traveled or used in that time period. Then, as time passes, you locate the lapsed time on the bezel and look directly below it for the approximate distance traveled, fuel usage, etc. How to convert basic units STT.0 STT MP H The Flight Computer is provided with red arrows on the face for converting to and from nautical miles, statute miles and kilometers. The Red arrow above the in STT on the face is for statute miles. The red arrow above the U in NUT on the face is for nautical miles. The red arrow above the H in is for kilometers. To convert, for example, KM. to statute and nautical, move the bezel so that the numeral on the bezel is directly above the red arrow (above/right of the H in ) on the face. The statute miles in KM. is found on the bezel directly above the red arrow above the in STT on the face, which is the numeral 8.1. Thus 8.1 statute miles equals KM. If you look directly above the red arrow above the U in NUT you will see the numeral This is the number of nautical miles in 8.1 statute miles and KM.

14 EB Flight Computer. Other conversions You can also do other conversion calculations on the Flight Computer. You can, for example, convert pounds of aviation gasoline, kerosene, or JP- to gallons. You can also convert from gallons to pounds. Simply move the bezel so that the is over the numeral on the face that represents the number of pounds in 1 gallon of that type of liquid (see the conversion table on next page), find the number of gallons you re converting on the bezel and look directly below that at the corresponding number on the face. That is the number of pounds! The example below converts 0 gallons of oil (petroleum) to pounds. The Conversion Table shows 1 gallon = 7. pounds, so setting the on the bezel over 7. and looking under 0 on the bezel shows 7 pounds on the watch face scale. 0 0 STT NOTE! Use the Flight Computer only to estimate fuel usage and travel distance. Do not rely on it for navigation purposes. Its purpose is to allow you to keep track of approximate fuel usage or distance traveled over time and to estimate equivalent kilometers, statute and or nautical miles. ny other use is outside the design parameters of the Flight Computer and is not recommended.
