I still have my HEMMI. I used to have a K+E Log-Log, but I've since
lost it. I learned to use it in 1976 (it was a requirement for
'Introduction to Scientific Method'). I still know how to use it (I
think).

BTW, my instructor used a *HUGE* yellow wooden Pickett in the
classroom (like the one that one of you mentioned). I've never seen
one that size before or since.
