Round slide rule
As announced in the last report, we present the round slide rule here. This slide rule is the result of a witty idea for the General Assembly of the GEP on September 10, 1950. The slide rule is the size of a beer mat (smaller disc) and can be rotated over a larger disc by means of an eyelet.
By turning the arrow on the disk, all the answers that the guest can ask at such an event appear in a window on the smaller disk.
Examples
When? Answer in the window: September 10, 1950.
Where? Casino of the City of Luxembourg.
