Make your own slide rule? Been there, done that. The attached was made in
1945, and it would be a few years before I could afford a Dietzgen Maniphase
Multiplex, which I still have. I've been fascinated by the discussions,
remembering well the days when that was the way. I'm very interested in
the application to sight reduction. I always thought that the accuracy wasn't
good enough.
