Power consumption for the motors needed to operate it might be a concern. Edited: 11 Dec 2007, 9:06 p.m.

Re: Large Cylindrical K&E Slide Rule Message #5 Posted by Eric Smith on 11 Dec 2007, 9:07 p.m., in response to message #1 by Chuck I wonder what it cost new?

Re: Large Cylindrical K&E Slide Rule Message #6 Posted by Meenzer on 12 Dec 2007, 2:58 a.m., in response to message #1 by Chuck Current bid $1825 and a seller with only 9 positive feedbacks - I wonder if the slide rule's accuracy is high enough to compute that risk... ;-)
