I look in from time to time. For a while after the change I couldn't access this site (possibly because I had upgraded my firewall). Have other members had...
Hi Ron and all, I've noticed there hasn't been much traffic either, in fact for about a month. I hadn't thought of the problem of being able to access the ...
Miles One thing which has interested me lately is some of the finer points of slide rule design. Two examples. I was recently given a very complex "black body...
Ron, I don't have too many in the way of specialty or too unusual of designs and layouts. Other than the Mannheim, which of course you need to switch the...
Miles I helped a non-profit organisation with a web site and a member gave me the black-body rule. It is about 18" long by 3 1/2" wide and weights a ton. I...
Glad to see that we have several new members. Please be sure to introduce yourselves and tell us about your slide rules. Thanks to Ronald Manley for posing...
Ron, That was a nice gift of them to give you for the help with the web site. I do recall the two that you mentioned by Thornton that sold on eBay earlier...
Mile Since you were bidding on a black body rule does that mean you understand about the high level physics involved? If so, I'd be gtrateful if you could have...
Ron, I do have to admit, my knowledge in the high level physics involved with the black body rule is rather limited. I am in Meteorology actually. We did...

Bob What type of rule do want? I'm not a dealer but I do have a few duplicates. I also know other places where you can buy rules. You can contact me directly...
... Hmmm. I don't know how many little shops are still around that deal in scientific collectibles. I wonder how reasonable prices tend to be on eBay. -- Mark...
Anybody have any idea where I can buy a slide rule in France? Thanks, I've got four - Pickett N902-T with leather case - Graphoplex 640 With plastic grey and...
Hi Folks: My name's Ted Ring and I've just joined this group. I bave a small collection of slide rules and use them daily. My collection has some Picketts,...
Welcome Ted! Thanks for the introduction. I hope you enjoy it here. Please feel free to contribute comments, questions, ideas, or anything else that you want....
Hmmm, you bring up a good point. I wonder if it would help if we did a short poll to get some idea of where peoples interest lie, age stratification, or...
As I'm sure you all know there are two other slide rule forums (sorry - fora), originally under aegis of egroups and now also under the Yahoo umbrella. One is...
Greetings! I may be a new breed, or just a total geek, but I am indeed 15 years old and interested in the Slide Rule. I am a High School math student...
Welcome! Indeed you may be a new breed and if you are a geek, celebrate it! That is what this forum is for! Please tell us more about yourself, your...
Ronald, I still like the educational slant, but your collectors vs. users is also a great idea. I see the difference myself when I lurk the other forums. I...
... When I have more time to play with it, I'll probably ask some questions about understanding how to use slide rules. (For some operations, I don't quite...
The route from user to collector is likely very common. I found my first in a pawn shop and started looking around for information on how to use it. One...
I would like to research my sliderule. I found out a little about it, but I would like to know if there is any definite information like the dates of...
... I think there is a scanned copy of the basic N3, N4 manual on the net. I also have a scanned copy of the other two manuals that were sold with the rule. If...
You can also get information from Eric Marcotte's site at www.sliderule.ca and go in to his collection page. He has a couple of N4's and a link to Micheal...
Hi All, I didn't generate much interest on this subject in the "other" group. Thought I'd see what's shaking over here. My question is "how do you do chain...
