40 slide rules?? I bet they wouldn't want to borrow those either! I only have three.

Nice slide rule site Smile

and a lot of links there I didn't know yet. Thanks for sharing. Smile

Here's another one with some of the finest *) slide rules I know: http://www.sphere.bc.ca/test/aristo.html . I've collected some 15 slide rules, since we learned calculating with them in classes you call highschool, and still used them at university - but quickly replaced them when scientific calculators came in our reach.

*) ARISTO from Greek "aristos" = simply "the best"
