Hi All, (Get those shovels out!)
There is currently an auction on eBay for a couple of draft letters
written by Albert Einstein for the 1939 New York World's Fair time capsule.
It has the low starting bid of only $75,000! I guess the final printed
message (on long lasting special paper) was buried along with a slide rule,
although I can't tell if the slide rule actually belonged to anyone famous
or not, nor the manufacturer/type. Does anyone else out there know what
type of slide rule was buried? (Perhaps the New York based Keuffel &
Esser?) I'm sure the location of this slide rule would be easier to find
than that of the buried Analons! Too bad they wouldn't allow anyone to do
it!
