In my shirt pocket I host, with a Moleskine notebook, either a Nestler 0130 or a Pickett N600ES that I use mainly for electronic design. On my desktop there...
Hello Ray, I carry a Jeppesen Sanderson CR-2 if I need to determine true airspeed, Mach number, drift angle, static air temperature, temperature rise, and...
Neil and All, Hello and good morning. Another product to use in removing scratches in plastic is "plain old" BRASSO. Soft cloth, finger tip, and a circular...
... As an inexpensive teach-yourself book I always recommend the Post Versalog manual. They go for (usually) reasonable prices on ebay. Amazon.com always has...
Be VERY careful when using power tools on plastic. If the plastic starts to melt, the window is gone. I also use Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Professional 17. If...
Welcome, Rich, if you can find one, they are a little rarer than the versalog, but the K&E hardbound books. The Decilog book is a very good choice. One of its...
Hi Gary, Please delete my "information wanted" item. With your tips and a few reactions I have been able to pen a much more comprehensive article than I could...
My N300-ES came in a soft fuzzy leather case termed "mustang" on the outside of the box. It has never fallen out of my pocket (something I remember my first...
You are correct. It is imperative that the temperature be constantly monitored to ensure the cursor does not melt. I've been polishing with my Dremel for...
I use Micromesh. It works great. I used a Dremel tool once. The tool slipped and i had a devil of a time removing that gash on me DeciLon cursor. m gerstman ...
The marketing people for the electronic games have hit upon the novel concept that the brain needs exercise. They are selling games for the more common hand...
Old sliderules were covered with celluloid. Newer ones with PVC. How can I distinguish between these 2 materials, without destructive testing? Hubert...
I have recently obtained a PIC 122 20" slide rule made in England by A.G. Thornton. It has a couple of LL scales and PIC's Differential Trig scales in addition...

Chris, Carrying a slide rule is a great conversation starter. I meet lots of people who, either, look a me inquisitively or just ask what is that in my...
Hello Rich and other ISRG members, Welcome to the group Rich! I've been a member for about 1 year now, and have considered informing the group about a really...
Generally I carry (like many here) a Concise 28N. While I have some of the other Concise rules, such as a 300, I find them a bit large to stuff into a shirt...
I just want to thank Amin for starting this thread. It is refreshing to know that so many of you are actually using your slip sticks in your work and every day...
Hi all, I may have just picked up the tail in end of this thread. But for scratched plastic cursors, I have found the best is a soft cloth and small blob of...

Ray, Thanks, Ray. I'm happy to hear from all the members who responded. I see my uses for my slide rules are not unlike most, who use it for accomplishing...
Recently I accuired an 1892 K&E full line catalog. The slide rule section has been scanned and is up on the site. I have started with this new entry to include...
Here is a problem for you. If you can solve it with a SR, let me know. I used a CAD simulation. How many circles 1 unit in diameter can be placed in a 4 unit...
How many 1 unit circles can be placed in a 4 unit circle? Don't stand any circles on edge. If you can solve this with a SR, let me know. I used a CAD...
Another interesting thing about slide rules, to me, is that just by looking at it, you see all the numbers including every solution to every problem you will...
Hi all; If I understand you correctly, you are looking for equvalent areas. If this is the case, then the formula, pi times the diameter squared divided by 4...
I'm sure that Korny meant complete circles. Areas would be too easy, not requiring a slide rule at all! Four times longer diameter means sixteen times larger...
In a Dutch newspaper I ran into a boxwood foldable rule like carpenters normally use for their work. The interesting thing was that the backside of the rule...
Hi all anything two-dimensional has area based on the squares of the relevant length- no-one needs a slide rule to work out that the square of 1 is one and the...

... No, I'm asking, how many complete one utit circles can be placed in a four unit circle. That's why I was able to do it with CAD simulation, but can't see a...
