Subject: Slide Rule Sighting
Greetings,

Okay, it has been a slow night. I tuned in to a dumb movie channel, and
found "The Deadly Mantis", which is about an oversize praying mantis that
thaws out of the arctic ice and wreaks havoc on America's radar early
warning system. In one scene in the Pentagon, a scientist is seen holding
what I think was a K&E 4080 or 4090 series slide rule. I could not see the
indicator.

Regards,

Michael
