Slide Rules vs. Computers
we spent late hours in the computer lab with the IBM card punch machine and had to wait a couple of days before our simple programs were run only to find an error in our card stack. During this time, the slide rule was king. The slide rule of choice for the enginnering students was the K&E Deci-Lon 10. The Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, Lee H. Johnston, was the author of leading manual on the use of slide rules, appropriately titled "The Slide Rule".
