I write with my left hand so using a fountain pen has never been an option for me. It's difficult finding a pen that won't smear as it is.

Grady, I hope you find them both for yourself and for me. The slide rule that I have is one that my dad found back in a closet when he was an instructor in the Navy at Corry Station in the 80s. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to tell me anything or bring anything home about 99% of what he did. From what I understand from a coworker that did the same job in the Marines, some of the equipment that he used is in the National Cryptologic Museum in Maryland.

I love all of this old stuff that allowed people to do jobs that we assume require computers these days.
