Nice set

You now need to get the accomanpying Pocket Book, which I ended up buying after the chatter the other night.
It's got these strange pages full of numbers, logarises, logarithistics... or something or other.

Logarithms are your friends. They turn pesky long division into easy subtraction!

I still use a slide rule from time to time, it has the added bonus of providing endless entertainment for the office staff and sometimes provides me with a free lunch of my choice when I win a couple of races against them using a calculator.

It was great for exams, all the formulas written on the back in pencil. Write them down on your scratch pad, a quick wipe and there was no trace of them.

Me……. cheat?

I have this vital piece of mathematical information,my pal gave it to me before setting off to Oz to make his fortune....

Its' worth and value are somewhat hampered by the fact it is from an old school in ROI.....and is printed in Gaelic...:icon12:
