UltraLog Links
The following good people were helpful in providing, sometimes unknowingly, information, advice, assistance and encouragement that contributed in one way or another to the eventual development of the UltraLog dsign.
Peter
Holland
Always helpful, hosted the first UltraLog images and
was invaluable in securing the purchase of my Artisto 0972
Hyperlog that sparked the whole idea.
Atsushi Tomozawa
Provides what I believe are the best quality slide rule scans on
the Internet. Answers all my Hemmi questions and links me to the
Japanese slide rule scene. Has kindly agreed to audit and
validate the final scale design once AutoCAD work is completed.
Dick Rose
If he doesn't have that elusive slide rule you are after now, he
will soon get it for you.
Paul Ross
Created the superb Hemmi catalogue. Always there to assist when I
buy (yet another) Hemmi slide rule with a missing cursor glass.
John Savard
Excellent analysis of slide rule scales and design. Lots of other
fascinating topics.
Mike Konshak
Created the comprehensive slide rule museum and provides many
extremely useful downloadable manuals.
Greg
Scott
Excellent slide rule reference site, again with many downloadable
manuals.
Rod
Lovett
Excellent slide rule reference site, includes the famous eBay
search engine giving details by individual item of slide rule
makes and types, purchase prices and number of bids since 1999.
Professor Joe Pasquale
Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, University of
California, San Diego. In addition to
teaching computer related subjects, offers a freshmen seminar on
the slide rule: its history, theory and practice. Has kindly agreed to audit and validate the final
scale design once AutoCAD work is completed.
Otto
van Poelje
A member of the Oughtred Society board of directors and the
president of the Dutch Circle of Slide Rule Collectors. Has
kindly agreed to audit and validate the final scale design once
AutoCAD work is completed.
Paul Kidd
A very capable young man and a great lateral thinker to have
around. One of the most talented and creative people I have ever
met. Currently up to his elbows into scale design. On his web
site you will find a short video of a remote controlled UltraLog doing
aerobatics.
And last but not least - Nogita my darling, ever patient,
supportive, encouraging and understanding.
