With this tool, cartographers could measure linear distances on maps by running the tiny wheel along the line between two points. Then they calculated the actual ground distance using the dial reading and the map’s scale.
One of the maps included in travel materials from my grandparents' trip to Copenhagen and Sweden in September, 1967. My grandfather was attending the annual meeting of the International Electrotechical Commission (IEC) Technical Committee 45 (TC 45)

Summary:"The Cahill-Keyes projection is a polyhedral compromise map projection first proposed by Gene Keyes in 1975. The projection is a refinement of an earlier 1909 projection by Cahill. The projection was designed to achieve a number of desirable characteristics, namely symmetry of component maps (octants), scalability allowing the map to continue to work well even at high resolution, uniformity of geocells, metric-based joining edges, minimized distortion compared to a globe, and an easily understood orientation to enhance general usability and teachability." --Wikipedia, viewed March 1, 2014.
Notes:Relief and depth shown by gradient tints.
"The essence of Cahill-Keyes is total comparability of map to globe: not only every continent (like Cahill), but also every single 1° and 5° geocell (a Keyes refinement)."

Boat Log Sept 10th 2011 – Southern Small Detached Reef
Diving the detached reefs was on my “ Diving To do” list I suppose because it was close the barrier of the reefs yet offered sheer wall diving with the possibility better than normal visibility , plus I was hoping to reacquaint myself with the silver tip sharks which I have previously only seen around the coral sea atolls.
We parked for the night before behind Log Reef and early in the morn we ventured out to the coral sea thru the Providential channel . Incidentally this is the channel Captain Cook used to re-enter the protected waters behind the barrier after being belted around by the severe Pacific ocean swell over 200 years ago, so I felt a bit of history as we headed into the 1 1/2 meter swell .
Next question was how the hell do we anchor??? It’s a smallish triangular reef with a protected nth westerly side , but even it had sheer walls that dropped straight down 80 meters. Fortunately there was a small sand patch on top in one spot as shown in the pic (A)
on the edge of the reef and which was just deep enough for me to nose into and secure the anchor…just holding precariously as shown in pic (B).
The light 15knots of wind was enough to keep our boat away from the reef (pic C)and we jumped in for an amazing dive just before low tide .
Drifting along at 25-30me we were delighted with a procession of glorious 2-3 me Silver Tip Sharks and a couple of greys. Vis was about 20-25me, maybe not what we had hoped for but still good for silhouettes looking up. Our safety stop was 30 minutes of fun with all the nemos and interesting stuff on the reef top and when we climbed back on the boat we both felt exhilarated by our first real wall dive for a long time. So much so that I made the decision to stay the night dangling from the wall with the anchor alarm on in the hopes we could get a high tide slack water dive in the morning before the trade winds picked back up……Big mistake Rob…by 9pm the wind had calmed and the weight of 95meters of sagging chain dragged us to the reefs edge and the current started pushing us over the reef. All I needed was it to jam the chain in a wall crevis and i was really in the poo.
I really dislike moving the boat thru reefy channels in the night but thanks to my saved track and Raymarine GPS were able to beat a hasty retreat without incidence to Log reef….it really makes me wonder how captain cook did all this with no charts and worst of all …no GPS!!!!

This is a map that my 5 year old daughter Rose made for running a Dungeons & Dragons game for her father and older sister.
The red numbers were added by me during a conversation to create a "key" for the map. Some of my notes are direct quotes from her, where others are paraphrased. I intentionally tried not to clean up language for the map.
Key:
1 Cherry trees and big rats (the rats are eating the cherries).
2 Door to the church
3 Stairs to the basement (the basement is level 1)
4 Gold pile with lots of rings & jewelry
5 Little drawer with lots of dresses
6 Room with not much interesting there. There are evil dogs in this room (the circles).
7 Plain room
8 Room with alot alot alot of bad wolfs
9 Lots of hills they had to walk up to get to the place.
10 A huge spider "I hate spiders, that's why I made a big spider!"
11 "There is alot of men sitting together and they were like totally there to fight, they were ready and had a plan to fight us."
12 Room where people used to come in and sit.

Chicago Transit Map Showing CTA Streetcar, Bus, "L", and Subway Lines and Connecting Suburban Bus Routes, issued by Chicago Transit Authority
Note the reference to plans for the Congress line: it was to be in the expressway median only as far west as Kedzie, at which point it would turn north in subway to join the Lake Street line.
