Trolling old electronics magazines from the 1950's or so I would encounter nomograms to compute various electrical properties. Seems like a cool use.
I wanted a nomogram to compute volume from l x w x h to make fast work in calculating speaker dimensions but spent only a passing amount of time trying to create one. The point of the nomogram for volume was so that I could compute one of the lengths based on a pre-determined cabinet volume I wanted and two of the other lengths.
Somewhat related: I created a kind of "digital slide rule" with logarithmic scales and all for an iOS app that computes Ohm's Law. It is so much more fun to play with then typing numbers into text fields and having the software compute the result. I think that is the appeal with nomograms for me as well, you can just real-time play with numbers in an interactive way. Not "turn based" like text fields.
