A Child’s Garden of Slide-rules
SCP would like to draw your attention to a quietly-designed page humbly-entitled Like slide rules? Welcome to Sphere Research’s Slide Rule Universe, literally everything about slide rules, sliderules and sliderulers! In this case, grandiose claims of “everything” may indeed be correct, as the site is filed to the brim and beyond with information, photographs, and the most obnoxious webpage design this side of a flash interface.
Highlights include the archives, with pages on such oddities (odd, at least, to this son of the digital age) as circular slide rules, information on use and cleaning, online auctions, and the bizarre Frankenrules (real and imaginary). Sphere would also like to remind you that
[….] in 50 years, the computer you are using to view this webpage will be landfill, but your trusty slide rule will just be nicely broken in!
