Much Ado About Slide Rules

My Slide Rules
	The sales kit for the GE 225 computer included a slide rule and abacus to teach analog vs. digital computers
	Some watches have curcular slide rules on the outer bezel such as the Breitling Chronomat & Navitimer
	Highlights from the pamphlet "How to choose a K&E slide rule" 1952 edition. Here's the complete 1940 edition and lotsa other slide rule manuals & photos, courtesy of the Sphere Research Corporation Slide Rule Universe For 100 years they were manufactured in Hoboken NJ (since 1867).
	I adore specialized slide rules such as this Nautical Slide Rule, U.S. Navy bureau of ships Mark 1 MOD 0 N 104-3942A 1964 The Sillcocks-Miller Co Maplewood New Jersey
