Designed and built with slide rules.

Said it before on SR threads but my kid was a Jet mechanic on the 117, 22 and 35. A few years back she took me to one of the museums with a 71. She never saw one in person. They had an engine on a display stand.

Blew her mind. The whole plane did.

I think for the younger crowd on FR thewre should be a rule that if one mentions slide rule there should also be an image to accompany it. Else who knows what those kids imagine?
