@kenshirriff@tubetime I'm always so surprised at how accurate these analogue devices can be.
I know I shouldn't be, but as someone who grew up at the beginnings of the calculator era when analogue computing was already underway being replaced by digital counterparts, it always feels like a miracle that these devices don't immediately accumulate so much error so as to become useless a few minutes into a flight.
