Bought this slide rule when I was attending University towards an Engineering degree in the late 1960's. By the time I graduated in 1971, these instruments were virtually obsolete having been replaced mainly by electronic calculators. I've never used this or any other slide rule in my subsequent working career.
Some of these look like they were taken yesterday.
This is my mom and her little brother, ca. 1962.
...I think I had some of these slides backwards, whoops!

Sampson has been our buddy since 2004. In the winter of 2008, he suffered a severe perineal hernia that required a $2000 surgery to repair it. At the time of the surgery, we were told that due to the severity of the hernia that it was likely to reoccur. As predicted, it has reoccurred and he desperately needs more surgery before 2012. Other than the hernia, he is a happy, healthy and active dog who should live to his mid to late teens. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience end his life prematurely. I have also contacted a Corgi rescue in hopes that he could be adopted to a family that is more financially able to care for him. However, since my husband and I can't have children, giving him up for adoption because of health issues seems as ridiculous to us as giving up our 9 year old child for adoption because we can't keep up with the medical expenses. We work in the service industry, living paycheck to paycheck and our credit is not good enough to get a care credit card that would allow us to make payments. To help us pay for Sampson's surgery, we have set up a ChipIn donation site to raise funds for Sampson's surgery. So please consider donating whatever small amount you can to help keep Sampson with the family that loves him. If you can't make a donation, please pass this info along to friends who may be able to help. Sampson, his Corgi buddies Shiloh & Rusty and his human family thank you!

11.11.11 Update: A big thank you to all you wonderful flickr friends! We've received several generous donations from flickr members pushing us over the 13% mark of our goal. Since I've been promoting Sampson's photos, I've found several of them used on websites & blogs. I hold a creative commons license because I'm not a professional photographer and if people like my photos and want to use them, I don't want them to be limited by an exorbitant fee. However, I have a pup in trouble and he needs your help, so, if you like my Corgi photos or save them as favorites, please donate $1; if you use any of my Corgi or animal photos on your website or blog, please donate $5 to: corgisampson.chipin.com/sampson-the-corgis-hernia-surgery...
It's a small price to pay compared to a pro's fee, and it helps a much loved dog in need. Again, we appreciate all efforts & donations, and Sampson & the Corgi Clan thank you!

" In Great Britain around 1870, the manufacturer J. Barnard &
Son industrially produced the first really successful decal
transparencies in full color. The decals were printed in enameled inks that were subsequently cooked once the illustrations had been transferred to the glass. The pieces of glass were circular, and mounted in mahogany frames measuring 7 (17.78 cm) x 4 (10.16 cm) inches, covered by protective glass that was in turn held in place by a metal ring.
After 1885, when magic lantern slides measuring 8.25 cm
long flooded the market, a size that had become a kind of
“standard” for the chassis of the projector, the popularity of
decal slides for magic lanterns rose sharply."

A nice slide rule I got at a tag sale. It still had a tag and receipt from the Yale book store from the 60's. I have since sent it to a friend in Sweden who collects such things
