Last night my wife and I were watching the 1978 Disney movie "The Cat From Outer Space". I had looked down for a second and my wife jumped up and said, "Hey, look, he's using a slide rule!" Sure enough, I backed it up and it was at the point where Dr. Wilson was calculating how much gold he would need to fix the cat's space ship. I tried to figure out what type it was, but was not able to. From the thickness, it looked like a duplex bamboo/mahogany rule. It was nice to see one in use though!
Regards, Miles
