Can someone explain how viewspeed works?

Viewspeed is the only conversion I do not understand. It would be great if someone can explain what the "chord length" is and/or provide some mathematics. Thanks!

It's quite a long read, but check out this thread where the conversion method comes from thanks to some members.

 

In short, it uses the chord length as a constant, and converts to and from it based on the difference between it and the arc length.

 

 

I will make video explaining it at a later point.

Drimzi's post at the bottom of the page is probably the best explanation, especially with the pictures. Just think GEARS.
