Abstract
A device is provided for directly reading from a chart the heading to be followed by an air or sea-going vehicle, comprising a disk with, at its periphery, a circular coaxial graduation of the 'compass card' type movable in rotation with respect to this disk, the latter being itself mounted for rotation about a fixed shaft fast with a support, via a rotary mount with offset adjustable in modulus and orientation. The disk further comprises a rectilinear scale for determining the modulus of the offset, as well as a reference mark for indicating the orientation of this offset on the circular graduation. The scale is graduated in successive values representative of the wind (or current) speed/proper speed of the vehicle ratio.
