    Re: Bygrave on ebay

    Thank you Bill. Yes she is a  gem isnt she? I am so pleased that you have her and will do all the right things. You may know I made a replica some years ago and used that at sea with great success. I think I documented this on Navlist. My craftsman days are over, but I still have that. I cant really ask for payment for homemade modern copy, but it is amazing and just as accurate.
    Do enjoy your gem. It is a unique work of art. The art deco majic has been ignored by everyone but me I think. Quite remarkable for an 1920s military instrument.
    Best
    Francis

    Thank you, Francis, for sending your beloved Bygrave slide rule so promptly. The reason for the confusion in previous posts is because I use a different name on eBay!

    It was securely packed and, upon opening, I decided that it is such a gem that I will not touch it until I have bought new white cotton gloves. Then I will restrict my use to a few careful calculations and post a review in due course. 

    I feel honoured to now possess this treasure and pleased that it remains within the NavList community as you so wished. I will be delighted to respond to any posts requesting detailed information on this particular example.

    My best wishes to you. I trust that you will be successful in selling your Fuller slide rule and Astra IIIB sextant.

    Kindest regards,

    Bill Ritchie
