    Hanno,

    In place of trig tables would lines on a page graduated like a trig slide rule obtain 4 place precision for cos sin and havsin. Figure 6" lines x 30 for 15 foot of rule per page face. In a way like Gary's flat Bygrave but not transparent. Perhaps Gary could make a proto transparency to function as a 4 place multipication slide rule. Precision on the cheap.
