There are still plenty of slide rules made for pilots, printers, doctors, and so forth. Dozens of makers of them, including: http://www.concise.co.jp/eng0731/slide.html http://iwa-slidecharts.com/en/ http://www.perrygraf.com/products.html etc.. And a whole bunch of us active slide rule users live at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sliderule/ I, for example, design manual flight computers as a hobby for myself, using SVG to generate the graphics. I also researched and posted the E-6B's history on Wikipedia, and have written a couple hundred pages towards a book on the history of all flight whizwheels. Kev |
