Did you have anti logs or like me did they only let you have logs and you had to work backwards.

Oh yes, anti logs as well as logs, and they were the flashy 5 sig. fig. ones, not the cheapo 4's. I still have the slide rule but I'm not sure where the log tables are now. If you went into a book store now and asked for log tables what a funny look you'd get. | [reply] |
