Determining fluid flow from circular pressure diagrams

Notes: "This planimeter would have been used much like a radial planimeter on a circular chart, but the chart would be pressure measurements from a pitot tube in a pipe carrying, probably, water. The three interchangeable cams adjust the square root function of the planimeter for different types of charts."
