Slide Rule

This shows an interactive, simple slide rule.

Slide rules are awesome, and people of younger generations are increasingly failing to appreciate them. I was inspired by playing around with some real ones.

This slide rule cannot slide left, which rather cripples it (there wasn't a convenient way to fit it on the screen!). However, it should still be enough to get the idea of how some calculations are performed.
