I thought I only had two slide rules, but I ran across another that I had forgotten. My new addition, to go along with my Pickett N3T and N200ES, is an old ...

Hi, I'm a new member. Just dug out the Pickett N4 I purchased for HS chemistry in fall 1971. I need cursor springs for it, since I brilliantly took it apart ...

I think the odds of you finding someone having cursor springs for it are virtually non-existant. However, if you can find an old-time local jeweler, he just...

Glad to have you with us Fred. With your experience and credentials, I look forward to your posts! I'd sure love to see the slide rule competitions come back....
