Slide Rule sighting, JHU-APL
I was looking for a link at the
Johns Hopkins Univ. - Applied Physics Laboratory
(JHU-APL) web site to the 1960s mobile automata
(a.k.a. robot) project that I worked on and spotted this.

The slide rule is edge on in the background,
so there is no way to identify it.
I did re-locate their 2 videos on YouTube.
I'm the young kid with glasses, a Virginia Tech
EE sophomore on co-op assignment with APL.

Absolutely wonderful job. :)
I'm still amazed at the responsibility they gave me.
