If interested in sliderule sightings in MAGAZINES, take a look at the
8 October 2001 issue of FORBES. That is the annual "Forbes 400"
issue that features the richest 400 people in America. On page 135,
facing Larry Ellison, 4th richest at $21 billion, is a computational
device which is incapable of running his Oracle database software: a
circular slide rule. It has adjacent C and D scales, and gauge
points for converting distance between statute and nautical miles.
It also has a scale that starts over at 60, which permits conversion
of decimal fractions to 60ths, as in fractions of an hour or minute,
and another that starts over at 12. Incidentally, it also has some
features lacking on most slide rules, for use in telling time :-)
Manufacturer? Breitling. Price? Not mentioned. --David McFarland
