Greetings all!

Beverly:

Thanks to the wonders of modern DVD technology and the ZOOM feature,
I was able to get a good close-up of the Slide Rule in the movie "Voyage
to the Bottom of the Sea". (BTW, It was being used by Admiral Harriman
Nelson, played by Walter Pidgeon).

Anyway, the Rule is a K&E duplex, from the densityof visible scales,
it seems like a trig model. What is most interesting about it though is
that the sides of the Rule are wood, not covered in the plastic material
that carries the engraved scales. I know that there was only a few Rules
that had this distinction, so that should help to narrow the search. I'm
not much of an expert on K&E Rules, I'm definitely a Hemmi lad myself!
:-)

Cheers all! Larry Stewart, Ottawa, Canada.

"I watched at bit of the movie (not the TV show) "Voyage to the Bottom
of the Sea". It had an old Peter Lorre and a young Barbara Eden. One of
the early scenes is the captain of the sub struggling to do a
calculation with a slide rule. Not sure what rule it is. But the captain
is ecstatic with his result.
