Omnimetre Project

Omnimetre  New version

This project was requested by Josh.

The Sexton Omnimetre is developed images on Rod Lovett's site: http://sliderules.lovett.com/sextonsomnimetre/sextonsomnimetrepics.htm

The slide rule is unusual, having a couple of scales that I haven't seen used elsewhere: a versed sine scale and one reading N raised to the fifth power. It features a single cursor and a movable inner scale.

For the reproduction scales, I did very minimal work with fonts this time, as it's not a replacement scale project (the original appears to be printed on cardboard). Also, whoever drew the original had a good time doodling up the back face - that side sports several artistic flourishes, also evidences a contempt for consistency with lettering. I found it infeasible to fairly replicate that page via PostScript.

The PDF to the left has one page showing the 'assembled' rule followed by pages that would be used for constructing a replica. It should fit Letter and A4 pages.
