Good day shipmates,
I got my new slide rule the other day: Hemmi 259D < $14 + $3 shipping
It was so unused and pristine I needed to lubricate the slide and do a general alignment.
What a pleasure it is to use.
The 259 has a good range of log-log scales as well; something my other SR lacks completely. I spent a day just learning how to use them.
You don't have to love math to enjoy an SR. They make navigation functions so much more fun and interesting.
Cheers
