I have just recently received my Dad’s slide rule.

He passed in 1999, Mom in 2011, but only lately has the house been emptied preparatory to sale, and much known to exist but long hidden has come to light.

My BIL says he’ll be able to show me how to use it.

I’m 54.

When you figure out that slide rule, maybe you can share what you learned here.

I’m your age, and I also inherited a slide rule from my dad. Wish I could’ve shown my kids how to use it, but I have no clue how it works.
