The slide rule group was there first and has the momentum. This tree (slide rule collcting) doesn't have lot of nuts on it. Is there justification for two...
Good Point! What can we do to differentiate this site from the e-group? As a "proud father" I am hesitant to close this club, however, if we can't find a point...

Greetings, Slidegeek:<br><br>Which is my best slide rule? Good question, but the memory cells won't allow me to answer it. The best one I had was a metal ...
