Subject: Slide Rule Sighting.
SLIDE RULE SIGHTING


Movie - TV- Book etc : TV

Name of Book-Show-Movie: Millennium (produced by Chris Carter who
did the X Files); episode: "Luminary" (about 1/3 way through the
episode).

Year of relase (if known): 01/23/98

Type of rule (if possible): My best guess is a K & E; uncertain of
the model.

Character Associated dialog if any: Frank Black (profiler;
consultant with the Millennium Group); no particular dialog.

What the character was doing: Frank was searching for a missing 18
y/o male. The slide rule was on a map of Alaska while he was
estimating distances with a caliper.

Comments: I had bought all 3 seasons of Millennium and really got
excited when I saw that slide rule in a present day setting of
1998. My family thought I was crazy.
