Hi all,

Just got back from seeing "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow".
There is a slide rule in it. I think it was some type of Mannheim with
a framed cursor. There were two shots (close-ups) of it, each lasting
3-5 seconds - they were less than a minute apart. Sky Captain's
engineer Dex is using it to calculated the location of a radio
transmitter. There may have been another shot showing a circular slide
rule on an engineering/drafting table earlier but I couldn't tell for
sure.

The slide rule shots were excellent. I thought the rest of the movie
was pretty good, too!
