Sorry George. I have my bamboo Geotec right here. About this time the
students (when I was young and we went to
school through the snow in pyjamas since the horses froze.....) perform
the ritual of taking their slide rules apart, cleaning
them, lubricating them with baby powder, polishing the cursor and
realigning the scales. Its the pre-exam tuneup! The
bamboo is best to avoid calibration errors from hand heat.
Cheers, Gord.
