It's a plotting device based on angles corresponding to lines intersecting a flexed blank. Similar in some regards to a story pole type spacing, just a little more involved. You can use it with or without a spine finder. It works as advertised.

I prefer the Concept system as outlined in RodMaker Volume 10 #4. It's quickly, easy and puts you just about right on the money out of the gate.

There are some interesting things you can do with the Morton Guide Graph too, however. If you'll do a search here on the forum you should be able to uncover some older posts that discuss some of these possibilities.

I prefer the concpet spacing but I have done 1 with the morton. In all honesty, to me it's just about 6 of one and a half dozen of the other.
