Good on you.
Dutton is a big name in marine circles. To accept one of his books left on the garbage was smart - as long as the book doesnt smell too bad...
The other book sounds familiar but I just can't remember if I read it. Reading the contents page might serve to remind me.
BTW... Sometimes you can find slide rule accuracy to 4 or more digits. Some accurate slide rules were made in 20 inch lengths, a few even longer - more accuracy comes with slide rule length, but its not convenient to carry a 20 inch slide rule in a brief case.
Thanks for your post. I like to write stories here but it's like I'm talking to myself most of the time. Years ago there were more folks here on this site. According to the number of views there are plenty of people who visit the posts, but very few actually say anything.
Are you from czechoslovakia? My family name immigrated from there 150 years ago on a sailing ship. I may be related somehow to president Benis.
