It’s a NASA Moon-Landing Calculator and Emergency, Last-Ditch Computer. Never needs a battery or a link.

LMAO. I sold my slide rule years ago to a collector. Still had the original leather belt holster.

Edit: Just looked at the pic again. That’s not a slide rule, it’s a vernier caliper. 🙄

Have one of those, too but never use it.

Don’t think I ever used one?

Was more into forestry, biology and chemistry in high school and college.

Didn't have much exposure, but it was a long time ago…
