Determining fluid flow from circular pressure diagrams

Notes: "Similar to Foxboro's radial planimeter, the recording head is fixed and the chart is rotated and moved undeath it. In this case the peg that the chart fix over is free to slide in a curved slot rather than a straight one, whch performs the square root function."
