Using the telemetric scale
Example: calculate the distance between
your position and an event producing
light and sound simultaneously (e.g.
a storm).
The chronograph is set off by the detec-
tion of light, for example a lightning
strike. Then it stops on detection of the
sound, the clap of thunder. Here, the
storm is 9.9 km away.
