SHFNI Rotractrule

My SHFNI Rotractrule is becoming somewhat dog-eared. Even fablon can't save it. It's a great piece of kit, fits in a flying suit.....

Does anyone have one in their memorabilia collection they'd be willing to trade or let go of? Thanks.

Obviously a Wessex one because it only goes up to 120 kts!

Fascinating device. When I looked it up on Google, my quest was self-referential, back to this post!

Some questions:

Where does the name come from?

What was the graph used for?

Who produced 1:20,000 maps? I would have expected 1:25,000.

PS I know what SHFNI means. It's the other bit!
