I have several slide rules. A couple of K&E's a Post and one other. I even have
my Dad's slide rule that he had at Armour/now Illinois Institute Tech in the 30's.
He was an RPEE and I just a high school Physics student...
Thanks for your contribution, Jon. Now, just what was an RPEE? That acronym
misses even Wikipedia!

I still use a slide rule in my everyday computer work, Its a Faber Castell
Lecture theater model, and I have converted it to work as a computer desk.
All the best
