Exposure Meter

I was hoping I could get some help with this old exposure meter from some of the professionals on here.

I have this old meter that I am trying to learn how to use properly. Warning - Please be advised, I have never taken a photography class in my life and I get easily confused with the lingo.

I have done some research and I found some okay information on the web but I lost the web page and I have forgotten what it said to do to measure footcandles.

It was something about set the AMA to 200, then rotate the dial to match the arrow to the black line and then take note of the fstop where the 250(?) on the dial is and then there was a chart to convert this to footcandles.

Am I even close?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Cheers,
Steve
