I'm guessing you have something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...9&category=361 which is quite a rare collectors piece.


Try the following...

I have to confess, I have a small private collection of interesting slide rules, but an Otis King cylindrical has very sadly somehow escaped me. Amongst aviation slide rules I own are...

USAF type CPU-73A/P "Attack computer"

RAF Lifeboat site computer Mk.1

A small 6" log-log rule stamped "Dowty aircraft components, Cheltenham"

A 6" specialist slide rule for calculating air flow rates, stamped "Lucas Gas Turbine Equipment"

A Scout Helicopter "Flight Envelope computer".


There, my secret's out, I am a very sad individual with very odd hobbies.
