These Straight chart dividers are precision tools used in navigation for measuring distances and transferring measurements on nautical or aeronautical charts. They consist of two straight, pointed arms joined at a pivot, enabling precise adjustments.
Straight dividers are preferred for their simplicity and accuracy in scenarios where flexibility or rapid adjustments (as provided by single-handed dividers) are not required. They are essential for traditional navigation practices, especially when plotting routes on paper charts.
Features:
- Manufactured in brass with stainless steel tips, highly polished.
- Friction adjustment.
- Packed in protective PVC wallet.
- Model: straight
Primary Uses:
- Measuring Distances: Straight dividers are commonly used to measure distances between points on a chart, using the scale printed on the map. By setting the points of the divider to specific positions on the chart, the navigator can determine the distance, which can then be converted into nautical miles, kilometers, or other units.
Transferring Measurements:
- Dividers can transfer distances between the chart's scale and plotted courses or waypoints.
Plotting Courses:
- They assist in marking and aligning precise points along a desired route.
