Your post inspired my to get my 10 inch K&E N4081-3 Log Log Duplex Decitrig slide rule out of it's box for the first time since 1973.
I could not find the user's manual but did find a good "All about slide rules" PDF on the internet at
http://www.oughtred.org/books/AllAboutSlideRules_OughtredSocietyPublication_rev121001.pdf
After a bit of review with "All about slide rules" PDF, I found the skill of usng the slide rule for calculations returning.
Thanks for instiring me to get my old slide rule out of it's box.
Ron
