Dear Slide Rule Collectors.

During the Virtual International Meeting 2024, we - as KRING - proposed to initiate a WORKSHOP SLIDE RULES in between the International Meetings, in the beginning of the year 2025, with the purpose to meet each other on an international scale and have Slide Rule discussions. The intention is to discuss technical items during this WORKSHOP of about 2 hours. General items can be discussed during the yearly International Meetings.

Most, or all, of us have one or more Slide Rules or Slide Charts which cannot be identified by Brand, Manufacturer, Distributor, or aspects as purpose, strange scales, etc. This WORKSHOP opens the possibility to ask fellow collectors to help you with these questions

As a result of the Pre-announcement, there are already 17 participants and some have even already provided their UNKNOWN slide rules. So there are sufficient items to discuss!!

The 2 hour WORKSHOP is planned on Sunday 23 February 18:00 to 20.00 hour CET, (Amsterdam time), so we start at 17:00 UTC, 13:00 EDT, 10:00 PDT and for Eastern Australia (AEDT) Monday 5:00.

You are welcome to take a photo of your UNKNOWN slide rules, and send it to info@rekeninstrumenten.nl before 20 February. We will collect all these UNKNOWN Slide Rules on a page on our website:  https://www.rekeninstrumenten.nl/workshop  This page already includes some unknowns, so you can look at them before the meeting, to see if you can help to answer the questions.

During the WORKSHOP the owner of the unknown item explains his questions. Your international colleague collectors will help you answering your questions. Some answers could be very simple, just because a fellow collector knows about it

Please let us know before 20 February if you are interested to participate. We will then submit you the Zoom link a few days before the meeting.

To all country organizations: Please distribute this Announcement in short term to your members and others who could have been interested.

Hope to see you on Sunday 23 February for the WORKSHOP SLIDE RULES.

Regards,

Andries de Man, Leo van der Lucht, Karl Kleine, Chris Hakkaart

Interesante, sin duda.

¿Se puede asistir como simple espectador? De la nota parecer desprenderse que mandan el enlace de Zoom solo a los participantes.
