ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of calculating a vehicle's elevation, speed, distance and time to arrive at a predetermined point. The apparatus includes a mechanical spring-driven clock mechanism having a rotating settable pointer passing adjacent a clock face for visually ascertaining time measurement during a specified time interval. The clock face has a prescribed set of indicia formed thereon defining a nomograph which correlates the vehicle's speed and distance to the predetermined point. An outer annular ring movable with respect to the clock face provides indicia showing the vehicle's elevation at specific time points. Tab elements which are slideably moveable on the annular ring provide visual guides to important elevation points. A central pointer on the clock is set at the selected vehicle speed and distance measurements on the nomograph and relates to a proper vehicle elevation mark on the annular ring. At a specific time designation, the clock pointer movement is initiated. The apparatus then provides a continuous display of elevation, speed, distance and time to arrival at the predetermined point.
