AnneLine Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) That is a slide rule, HSM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waiprjueVpQ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule It really was helpful during high school chemistry... I never got past pretty basic operations... my bet is that Papist or BrianThePhysicist or ARFink could tell us how the danged thing worked.. but it worked. Shortly after that it was totally replaced by a pocket calculator... Edited March 1, 2013 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortly after that it was totally replaced by a pocket calculator... Yes, I knew that. But, even though my dad was a chemist, I never took chemistry and dodged higher math when I could. ;) I think I saw a slide rule once, but when I touched it, it burned me like holy water burns the possessed... It was a clue that math was not for me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in the world anyone thought this was a good idea was beyond me...
