After lunch yesterday, we went to the #HistoryOfScienceMuseum in #Oxford. It’s not very big but contains some really fascinating exhibits. It is right next to the #SheldonianTheatre and well worth a visit.
To this day, trainee pilots have to master the #CircularSlideRule in order to do calculations for various tasks. Before flying was ever developed, such #SlideRules were in common use.
I went to IKEA today and found this: the UPPDATERA for 5 USD. It looks like it is intended for knife storage, but look how well it works to keep a few Slide Rules handy at your desk! #sliderules#sliderule
