First of all, welcome to the club! I am glad to see that there are still folks out there that see the sliderule as more than a collectors piece. You should see...
Thanks for the welcome!<br><br>Hey, do you have a picture of yourself using the Shanghai Flying Fish? I'd like to see it in the photos section.<br><br>MANY ...
Don't have any pictures yet. I would love to see some posts to the photo section. <br>Have you found a pocket size rule that will fit your needs?<br>I also ...
I'm always slightly bemused by people who claim still to be using slide rules. I used one intensively at school, university and for the first few years of my...
When it comes to precision calculations, I must admit that I use my trusty Hewlett Packard. However, I must resort to an admission that I have always been ...
Naturally, when it comes to "precision" calculations, a sliderule is not the instrument of choice.<br><br>However, I mention again, when you are confronted...
Exactly! And what is life, but solving ratio and proportion problems? ;-)<br><br>I.e., "x" is to "y" as "a" is to "b"<br><br>Sound familiar to anyone out...
Hi Members!<br>Slide Rule Forum is almost 1 year old. It was gratifying to see that 26 members. It is, though, less gratifying to see that there are very few ...
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...

I for one prefer the Forum. I'm not a member of the e-group and probably will not be a member (no offense!!). It's just that my morning routine revolves around...
It's not that math at the group is really unwelcome, just that they don't like a purely mathematical discussion (with nothing about slide rules in it) to go...

Hello everybody<br>I'm looking fot a manual for the K&E chemist duplex slide rule. If there is anybody who can help me thank you very much.<br>Yours...
I note that this group - I hope you'll excuse me for saying so - has not really taken off. I was wondering if it should perhaps carve out a niche for itself....
A few suggestions:<br><br>Math: We could allow math discussions more latitude than is the case at the group.<br><br>Scales: I've not seen too much on why a...
All excellent subjects for discussion.<br>I'll break the ice. I probably am more unlikely than any other member of the group to belong to this group much less...
By the way, does anyone out there have a simplified explanation of the "pythagorian" scale common on Faber Castell rules. I have read the instruction manual on...
Greetings:<br><br>Well, I just joined the group, so I'm not a good source of discussion guidance!<br><br>I used to use a slide rule in high school, but ...
