A couple are still in moving boxes I haven't opened in 12 years, but here's my favorite 4.meerschm said:do you still have yours?
Oh, you EVIL guy. Of course I saved ONE example of each of those kinds of graph papers. Also made by K&E. They're in the geek artifact box with the missing slide rules, and my slide rule tie clip. Darn you, now I have to spend a couple of hours looking for them next time Mrs. Roadie gives me some time off the honey-do list.meerschm said:now, do you have any smith charts laying around?
or some semi-log graph paper?
Mark20 said:Ah, an E6B, forgot about them. Yes a slide rule in circular format geared to aviation. Circular so a pilot could do a calculation and keep a hand on the controls. I think I still have a cardboard one hiding somewhere.
What would you suggest for a beginners slide rule? I'm sure I can find something on eBay.
