Sliderules

[Cody Carey]

Hello all,

I was just reading through one of my MAKE magazines, and noticed the article written solely about Dean K. It stated in this article that he had a 6' slide-rule that he used to instruct the reported on the finer points of Slide-ruling. I, however only have a smaller, antique slide rule and THIS java applet, and absolutely no understanding of how to use one... can anyone point me in the direction of online tutorials/white papers on how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated as my curiosity is now peaked


Thanks in advance,
