Yes, slide rule...
I still know how to use it (I think I do, that is..)

At those (good) old days, I was capable to do the mental calculations by manipulating the image of the slide rule in my mind, down to 20-25% accuracy - enough for initial estimation of the results (try to do it with digital calculator !!) .. Ahhh, where were those times gone...
