Never owned one but I have used them in the past. These days I could still use a slide rule but I am not so sure about log tables.

I can still quote the superposition theorem though (What practical use is that eh?)

Blimey!!

I had one of those - wonder where it went, haven't seen it for years

P.S. Taking a picture of an object like that in that sort of setting may lead to all sorts of misconceptions 8-) :lol:
