[Elecraft] (OT) slide rules

Tue Feb 18 15:10:00 2003

Hell, they still teach with E6-B's. It's circular, but it's a slide rule
nonetheless. Does time-distance-fuel-speed-density-compressability etc.
stuff in an airplane. The nice thing is that it works with one hand (the
other is presumably keeping the dirty side down).

Flip it over (and use two hands) and most do Velocity Vector addition (Wind
+ Craft = Course).

I have two!  (At least that I can find)   There is another that is a pencil
cup slide rule, (circular), and somewhere is my favorite 6 inch pocket rule!
I have a pristine K&E Decilon and my original Pickett.
