Still have my 'hemmi 130' slide rule from my old surveying days.(pictured)
The HP 41C was a godsend in those days to compute all our surveying requirements. With the modern day computers all these old methods were quickly made obsolete and our total procedure from field work, computations, design to final plans was all done on the PC. It makes you wonder where technology is directing us????
Great post Gary.
