Hi All. Stay well and safe. I'm self isolating (High risk group) and doing some old slide rule calcs from my study to keep the old brain ticking over.
I compared some results a few years ago.the reports should be on Navlist somewhere.
My Fuller Cylindrical rule is much bigger than the Otis King and can give up 6-7 places accuracy. The Otis King about 4 places..
Best wishes
Francis
