Yes, do check in at the Oughtred Society
http://www.oughtred.org/
for lots of great info. On of my favorites is the Otis King cylindrical rule with 4 digits precision
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otis_King
They're available and reasonable. As I had posted a few months ago, one of the scales on mine unglued from the cylinder and seems no longer to close on itself- not great for doing 4 digit calcs! Well, the fix will be interesting, and I've gotten some very helpful do's and don'ts from this board. Thanks all.
