MIT has the old K+E collection of slide rules. I wonder if BD or someone else knows if they are available on display? Apparently there are some really weird ones..... I found the article in my father's copy of the MIT Alumni journal. Apparently the "curator" thought that the really large, around 6 foot, slide rule for teaching was really rare.... She looked around 30 years old. How many of us in our 50's or 40's were put through slide rule learning using one of these old timers? How many of us still remember how to use a slide rule? How many of us still OWN a slide rule? How many of us still USE a slide rule? Old Timers........Youngsters....... and Slide rules.... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Yes I know that there are a handful of so-called "classic" computer collectors, like slide rule collectors.
