I don’t knoe what’s going on, but if you’re going to be using a slide rule, use a Sterling; its made in the U.S.A.
Sterling is the slide rule that kicks ass; Turing aint got nothing on that crap.
thanks for the ping about this
Sorry ... but I guess you haven't used a properly setup K&E Mahogany. With years of use and properly lubricated with talcum powder, one can flick the slide and have it end up close to where you want it, in one lightning quick motion, several inches away. Here's the K&E model 68 1210 Log Log Duplic Decitrig (made in 1947) that I have (my personal leather case is green, not red):
Plastic rules simply don't have the speed of a good K&E.
Incredible discovery
The fourth element is perhaps a misconception based on a wrong interpretation of what voltage is. Defining voltage as the derivative of just the magnetic flux with respect to time practically ignores the electrical contributions to the voltage.
