Holey schmoley, I never knew that 7 figure tables existed. I ran a search and came up with a picture here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chambers-Seven-Figure-Mathematical-Tables-Trigonometrical/dp/B00200WFG0 It's not just a thin booklet, it's a hardcover "book". I imagine these were expensive and only used for real science. The one in the link is going for 5 quid, so maybe I'll buy it. It's from 1948, which makes sense in comparison to the timeline of the computer. Greg
