From a 1988 speech by Seymour Cray (1925-1996),
father of the super-computer, In college I had a circular slide rule, the 10-inch model.
That's as big as circular slide rules were made, so I had the very top of the line. If you had a circular slide rule, you had some social problems in college. Almost everyone else had a straight-stick slide rule, and they came in a nice leather case with loops on the back so you could hang them on your belt. Those of us with circular slide rules couldn't do that, so people looked at you kind of funny and thought, `Do you suppose he's really not an engineer?'.

 ISRM - Ground Water Hydrology Computer
|
Ground Water Hydrology Computer - 4 coaxial disks 10mm thk Made in USA by Info, Inc Newton, MA (1967) for Layne Associates, Memphis, TN Front Scales - Transmissivity (T), Storativity (S), Time (t), Radius (r), factor (u), and Well Function of u [W(u)]. Back Scales - Well Function [W(u)], Transmissivity (T), Discharge (Q), Drawdown (s), and std. C, and D scales. Solves This Non-Equilibrium Equation for Ground Water: s = 114.6 Q W(u) / T; W(u) = e-u / u du; u = (1.87 r2 S) / (T t) Donated by the designer, N. Thomas Sheahan, Research Geologist, Layne Research Division, Memphis, TN Sheahan writes: "About 1,000 of the circular Ground Water Hydrology Calculator slide rules were produced... We had many of them printed with the names of the various associated Layne firms, but some were left blank to allow personalization. I continued to use this slide rule in the field and office from 1967 until the 1990s when I was finally able to get an HP-100LX, the first hand-held calculator that could solve this equation. Since then, I have had the slide rule as a wall decoration in my office until I retired this year (2008)". |
