There is a simple formula to work out the Estimated Time of Passing (ETP)

ETP = ETO1 + EET1 (ETO2 - ETO1)
EET1 + EET2
EET = Estimated Elapse Time between two points
ETO = Estimated Time Over one point

It can be found on a pray wheel (nav computer) by:
Set EET1 + EET2 on the outer scale over EET1 on the inner scale;
Opposite ETO2 - ETO1 on the outer scale read X on the inner scale
Add X to ETO1 = ETP
