Hello All. Could anybody please show me how to draw slide rule (still remember those things?) or circular slide rule? The best I could come up with was +----------------------------------------+ | 1'9'8'7""6""5"""4""""3""""""2'''''''''1| +-------+----------------------------------------+ > | 1'''''''''2""""""3""""4"""5""6""7'8'9'1| +-------+----------------------------------------+ | 1'''''''''2""""""3""""4"""5""6""7'8'9'1| +----------------------------------------+ and I do not like it much. Thank you. Andrew Nikitin.

Hi Andrew! Do you thing that somebody here would know what is it? If somebody knows, I'd bet 95:5 that he(she) is Russian, as you are.. Well, me too.. ;)) Here are two improvements for your original variant, you could combine them or use as is.

The scale compression is logarithmic, 2 is at 0.3010 of the scale length, 5 is at 0.6990 etc. You can find these values using a scientific calculator or by reference to Logarithm Tables!. Good luck George Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Great, Alex.
I like your design, thank you very much. I've just reduced the width and
added "hairline" to cursor.
I am not sure it is better, though.

If I were you, I wouldn't bet like this. There are much more slide rules
available in US (and Europe) than there were in USSR. Literally thousands of
models, doesens of manufacturers. Just go to e-bay and type "slide rule" in
search box. I was amazed when I first did this.
I must admit that most of people caring about slide rules are retired
engineers who collect them.
If we do some math we will obtain some paradoxical result:
though "they" stopped to teach slide rules in schools 15 years before then
"we" did (I studied slide rule in 1986 and I believe that early 1970s -- the
years of the first cheap calculators were pretty much the end of slide rule
era in the west),
but taking in account 20-30 years difference in life expectancy -- the last
people on earth who studied them will be americans.

Wow. It's amazing. You even out Pi and c1 signs on it. The previous picture had more realistic cm scale (or was it inch scale?). Could you please tell me why do you use : as scale ticks?

Well, may be you are right, but nobody there doesn't use them.. I still use it from time to time.. Probably you too? It's some kind of nostalgy, isn't it? By the way, check the percentage - 95:5, not 100:0.. ;)) Here are two more rediddles of my variant, with your marker.. By the way, there is an empty place for your initials above the inner slide rule - i think we both did it..
