Hi All,
I collect old slide rules and calculators.
I really treasure them.
If any one want to give them to me I would provide a good home.
Contact me off line for my postal address
regards

I don't say anything here that I would not say to your face.

I don't know if this paper presented at OSTIV 1991
by R. C. Gibbons is of any real use to you, but it might be of historical
interest for those who are interested in the theory behind creating monograms
(the young ones aren't) and thus the calculators themselves. See attached
file.

>Good morning Colin,
>I have a manual for the Bob McCullough WAC 40 if you need
one. Probably got a WAC 40 somewhere as well.
>The introduction of the JSW
and WAC 40's changed the way we flew final glides. Much the same way
technology does today. Bob said the WAC 40 gave you 50 feet at the finish, I
never had the guts to try it but many did. The trick I used was to not use
published LD's and go back a few. Example, for the Libelle, I used the
Boomerang polar.
