No one under 50 is going to get that.

Yep, probably never saw one. Just like slide rules.

I still have one. I used it a couple of days ago to measure the angles of a windshield washer nozzles.

I'm under 50, and I get the protractor and slide rule. You old timers with your bias against us young uns.

Yeah, but who will be laughing at us after the emp?

I keep one in my shop and do occasionally use it.
Never understood how the slide rule worked, but I did use a circular slide rule to figure out percentages.
I still have it but doubt I have the grey cells to do it today.

I've still got mine - somewhere.

 

[PAUL161]

I still have mine! But where is it??
It might be in my old flight case with my outdated JEP charts.

 

[Popeye]

I’ve got mine as well. And I consider myself a tweener - between “young” and “old”.

The functionality of the logarithmic scales that make slide rules so powerful is nothing short of incredible.
