I have my grandmother’s brother’s Versa-log right here… He was an electrical engineer, an inventor, and ham radio operator. I never got to know that aspect of his life. Now, I love the way that using a slide rule teaches me relationships between numbers, logarithms… It gets me in the habit of mentally figuring quick estimates without a slide rule or calculator. We tend to lose that when there’s a computer in everyone’s pocket.
