I own and still use my father's KE Log-Log Duplex Decitrig and, no, my
fingers have never gotten dirty from using it. I also own one of the old
Coast Artillery circular slide rules used in calculating the fall of
shells, another one dating from my flying days back in the 1970's, and yet
another one for use by a machinist. I also own an Otis King rotary
slide-rule.
Now, I still lust for one of those Swiss Curta rotary calculators, mind you!
