Description:

"A method of calculating winds aloft data from theodolite observation is offered without resorting to the use of plotting boards. This program, utilizing the Hewlett-Packard 25 hand calculator, was originally intended for fire weather mobile unit use at going fires where time and space are at a premium. No new theory has been developed. The tangent plane approximation is the only compromise; but within the accuracy of the observations, this approximation results in no error"--Introduction.
