BTW, as I mentioned the other day, I still have a slide rule from my high school days. It's a Pickett Microline 120 and it still works 56 years later!
No batteries to give out! Even though I've never had to use them for school or work, I have slide rules around the house because they're very pleasing. My dad's Faber-Castell was his first work calculator in the early 1960s. Catherine's late uncle got me his fearsome Post-Hemmi Versalog, complete with leather holster and large manual. I recently picked up a new old stock simple Ricoh bamboo slide rule. This was made in the early 1970s and was still in its sealed plastic bag.
