Nice! Why have I never seen an aluminium slide rule?
Also, for the benefit of us non-Americans, what approximate age is "high
school"?
The age range for highschool in the US is 13 - 19 (approx). You
usually enter around 13 or 14, and finish four years later (older
but in general, not much wiser). 8-P
Present company exepted, of course . . . .
