I stopped in a second hand store today after a doctors visit, and
bought a Pickett slide rule. Its 6' long. Hangs from the ceiling by

Anyone interested?



Pickett's were metal. I carried a 6" Pickett in my pocket for years.
Is this 6' wonder made of metal?

I always preferred the "action" of bamboo (Post Versalog) at my desk,
but that little metal Pickett was rugged.


The big demo models were made mostly of wood, but LOOKED just like a
smaller Pickett.
