Tangents are then read on theC or D scale, and cotangents read on the CI scale.LL0, LL1, LL2, LL3 Scale (value relative to C/D = e x ). Log Log scales.Exponential power scales used for raising a number to any power orextracting any root that is greater than one.LL00, LL01, LL02, LL03 or LL/0, LL/1, LL/2, LL/3 Scale (value relative to C/D = e -x ).
