How fun. I also found this when I was looking to learn a bit about how to operate a slide rule a friend gave me:

They're really interesting items and of course can be gotten for a couple bucks at any antique knick-knack shop. It's worth taking an hour or two to learn the general idea of how they work if you're curious.

I got one a couple of years ago too. It's kind of mind blowing how powerful a few pieces of painted metal can be.
