[NSRCA-discussion] Art Wagner

[Bob Richards]

My physics class in high school was the last year they used slide rules (did not allow calculators). One thing that I learned, that I still do to this day, is to try and have an idea of at least the magnitude of the answer in my head. You had to keep track of the decimal place when using a slide rule.

            Remember those exams where all was quiet, then there was a “Oh s&%$#, my battery died”? We used to come early to get next to the wall socket!

    I was in the generation that changed from slider rule to HP-35.  That was a huge change in the engineering school.  The tests were redesigned to account for the time savings when using calculators.   Very good memories.  That was early 70's.

    Only smart people use slider rule.

    Art does not own a computer.   He uses a slider rule.
