Gary Lapook asked:
"BTW, does anybody know what ever became of Captain Bygrave after he
invented the slide rule?"

Apparently, he worked for the rest of his life in the R.A.E. devising various 
analog computers for navigation and also military functions like bombing. He 
was killed in a "riding accident" in 1936.
