A story in the Wall Street Journal, March 18 edition, page P18,
"Spanning The Impossible, The Building of the Golden Gate Bridge
defied the odds" describes the designer as Professor Charles Ellis,
University of Chicago....."whose calculations, all done with a
circular slide rule and an adding machine, filled several volumes..."
It would be interesting to know what circular slide rule the
professor used!!!
