Subject: Re: slide rules in the movies
During the holidays I happened to notice slide rules appearing in two movies. In Abbott and Costello Go to Mars, one of the scientists picks up and pockets a slide rule, but isn't shown using it. In Dr. Strangelove, the mad doctor uses a circular rule for some quick calculations.
