    Re: On slide rules

    Robert:

    I have heard of the Otis King slide rules. Actually have one, but I can't say that it and I are on speaking terms. One of these days or weeks. As to the other you mentioned, I know nothing of them. Actually, never used slide rules all that much. When I was working, Piping Design and fabrication detailing was my field, used Smoley's Tables. Among other things, they included the logs and squares of linear dimensions from an inch or two out to 100' in 1/16" increments, and to 200' in 1/8" increments as I recall. It was quite a while back. Actually, slide rules are fascinating devices, all 2 moving parts thereof.
