Ok, folks, let¡¯s take the slide rule discussion offline, even though it¡¯s very interesting. I have a Pickett C18-T made for Collins Radio, amongst other slide rules and enjoy yakking about them. But this group is about the nanovna. There is, in fact at least one other group dedicated to slide rules.

?I have a Dietzgen rule with "folded" C and D scales which enable reading to 4 decimal places and specialized scales for solving triangles. I also have several circular rules, including some specialized ones for aviation complete with WWII QA stamps, and my favorite, a "Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer, Revised Edition"; In the movie, this was used by Dr. Strangelove to calculate the half-life of "Cobalt-Thorium G" after it was apparent that the "Doomsday Device" was going to be triggered.
