Note: This is a scaled-up version of our NATO-MIL Quadrant Telemeter, it is twice the size of the orginal, all features are the same with some scales graded in smaller increments, where applicable. It is ideal for instructors, for demonstration and teaching purposes. This edition comes with the same instructions manual as the regular NATO-MIL qTM.
The latest version of the NATO-MIL qTM model (24a). Changes are: descriptive labels added to scales.
A military fork of the popular civil Wndsn High-Viz Quadrant Telemeter, this NATO-MIL model features an input scale graded in NATO-MIL (360°/6400), from 0 to 150 in 1 MIL increments. This edition comes with custom instructions and a digital military field manual. (Reference: MIL vs. MRAD vs. NATO-MIL)
A tool for makeshift navigation and rangefinding, the double-sided Wndsn Pocket Quadrant Telemeter enables you to do more than merely guessing distances. Find an object of known size, or distance, or angle and measure with the appropriate scales and utilize the baked-in trigonometry to find the desired value by aligning the provided string across the various scales.
The backside features a degree, NATO-MIL, and slope quadrant, a coordinate scale for 1:25,000 UTM/MGRS and similar maps, as well as sine and cosine arcs and an inclinometer scale. The Quadrant Telemeter lets you measure angular size and compute distance, height or depth of object, altitude, or elevation, it allows computation of sine, cosine, and tangent for a given angle.
The best tool is the one you have with you, on you. Wndsn Telemeters are wallet-size distance and altitude nomographs developed in our applied science lab: Wndsn Telemeters combine a thousand years of civil engineering, surveying, navigation, and astronomy in one durable, low tech, high utility instrument that can be brought anywhere, is self-containing, and independent of external, modern technologies. Wndsn Telemeters are naked-eye tools that offer various means of measuring angular size, as well as graphical computers providing functions to process or convert the measured values. Their purpose is to help you navigate using known landmarks or astronomical features, to get a "second opinion" to cross-check values obtained with different means, or in emergency situations when other methods fail or are unavailable.
Wndsn Quadrant Telemeters continue to spark and promote interest in contemporary metrological science and ancient navigational history as well as educational astronomy.
