Clarence H. Koch (1904-1989) was a Golden, Colorado native who worked for many years as an electrical engineer and utility executive. He was employed by the Colorado Central Power Company from 1924 to 1945. After resigning from the power company, he organized the Davison-Koch Furniture Store in Golden, which operated between 1945 and 1950. He was thr District 3 Commissioner (Republican) 1951 to 1959.
Koch also raised cattle on his ranch in Mount Vernon Canyon after 1941, and until 1965 when he moved with his family to a ranch at Livermore, north of Fort Collins. He lived there and in Fort Collins until his death.
Central Colorado Power Company (1906-1959) was founded in 1906 by Myron T. Herrick. A pioneer in hydroelectric power, Herrick had diverted the Colorado River in 1909, sending it through two and one-third miles of granite to turbines in his company's Shoshone plant. From there he sent transmission lines 150 miles through several forbidding mountain passes to Denver. He also built Barker Dam in Boulder Canyon, a project that took more than 18 months to complete and for which his company had to devise new methods of acetylene welding. It was renamed Colorado Power Company, then was merged with the Public Service Company of Colorado on September 3, 1924,Colorado Power Company and in 1923 served the coal mines of northern Colorado and the towns of Lafayette, Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Berthoud, Fort Collins, Greeley, Fort Lupton, Brighton, and Cheyenne, Wyoming.
1926 Several regional power companies, including Jeffco Power & Light were consolidated to form Colorado Central Power Company. The new company covered Golden, Morrison, Englewood, Littleton, Fort Lupton, Plattevill, Johnstown, Milliken, Hudson, and Keenesburg. The new company's main offices were in Golden, on Washington Avenue. Sometime in the 1960's Colorado Central Power Company was absorb by the Public Service Company of Colorado.

According to Joseph L. Soper, who worked at the K&E Salibury plant, K&E made the 4053 from around 1909 to the end of production of slide rules in 1976. The 4053 went through dozens of changes during its lifetime. The rarest of the variants is this 1914 Model 4053-3. In 1913, the 4053-3 had a framed indicator window, which blocked the view of portions of the slide rule when making calculations. K&E fixed this problem by making the "Frameless" indicator. K&E went through the patent process to protect their investment into this innovation. In 1914, K&E produced the "Frameless indicator with metal indicator bars". The metal indicator is marked, "Pat. Appl'd For", as seen in the image. This was followed very shortly after with a "Frameless indicator with plastic indicator bars". The plastic bars were marked, "K&E CO. N.Y. Pat. 8.17.15".

were not needed or found on 1936-1955 N4053's with the K scale on the face below the D scale.
The K scale was moved to face in 1922. The edge became a 25cm linear scale and did not need the extended hairline.

John Prince III (1941-2005) John
graduated from Southern Methodist University Magna Cum Laude with a B.S.E.E., and he earned an
M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. from North Carolina State University. Worked at Texas Instruments,
then as a professor at Clemson University. In 1983
became a Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at University of Arizona.
John specialized in collecting K&E rules, with a strong interest in Pickett. In 2002, John
described how he started with slide rules back in 1960: "I used a K&E 4181-3. We were mandated
to use either a 4081-3 or 4181-3 in our freshman slide rule class.
I chose the cheaper (very important to a married 18 year old) rule and never
regretted it despite the dire predictions from some faculty about dimensional stability and
durability." Among John's awards were the 1988 Inventor Award by Semiconductor Research Corp.,
the 1988 Semiconductor International Technology Achievement Award and the 1991 Arizona Innovator
of the Year.

the Slide Rule Club. He attended college at The Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now The NYU Tandon School
of Engineering), graduating with a Physics Degree. He worked as an Electrical Engineer for many years, then decided he wanted

instruments, and random electronics to fellow enthusiasts. He would have used this 1928 slide rule in High School around 1953-1955.

Previous owner: A loaner from a school's Textbook Department. This may very well be during WWII when
limited resources made it difficult for individuals to buy slide rule
Gifted by Norma Tanner of Libertyville, Illinois
Norma has been a participant of the ISRM Slide Rule Loaner Program. In addition, she had her own collection that she loaned out to students. This one is part of the collection sent to ISRM. Norma writes: "After teaching math and/or science for 24 years, I am now enjoying retired life.
Having been educated at MIchigan State University during a time when using a slide rule was the only technology available for advanced calculations, I decided to create a unit of study for my students that would introduce them to the slide rule. My goals were for students to strengthen their ability to estimate and use scientific notation, as well as to discover the historic significance of the slide rule. While it was hard for them to put aside their electronic calculators, they were fascinated, engaged, and thrilled when they could multiply 2 x 3 and actually get 6 instead of 5.9.
In the end my students were happy to be reunited with their calculators, but had a new appreciation for the value of estimating, scientific notation, and accuracy in measurement. Goals met! "

Technical Note: In order for ISRM to determine the manufacturing dates of the 4080 and 4081 slide rules, it is convienient to refer to the catalog pages provided on Clark McCoy's website. These are Clark's descriptions:
The 4081-3 family of slide rules are duplex type of slide rules. Of the catalogs available, the first release was shown in the 1937 catalog and price
list. From 1937 through 1947 the laminate covered the entire surface of the rules except for the ends and all printing was on the front and rear surfaces. From 1947 through 1952 the model numbers and other logo type information was engraved on the top edge of the rule. From 1952 through 1972 the top and bottom surfaces of the rules showed some wood with laminate inlayed in it.
This is the second series of slide rules called "Log Log Duplex Trig" (4080-3) and "Log Log Duplex
Decitrig" (4081-3). This group was evolved from the 4091-3 family in 1937
and the earlier 4092-3 family of slide rules. The 4081-3 family of slide rules
became the main stay for the K&E line of slide rules in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s,
On the right are the scale sets, modified to ISRM convention, where the Front is determined by the A scale. If there is a known date of the slide rules based on an owner's bio, that date is shown.

Note: The 4080-3 and 4081-3 are identical except for the scale graduations of the
trig scales. The 4080-3 is divided in degrees and minutes where as the 4081-3 is divided in degrees and decimal
degrees.

Gift of Elizabeth Fukushima of Plainfield, Vermont,
Cont'd Gaining re-admittance to university was challenging for engineering students because Japanese American citizens were banned from any campus that had grants to conduct classified government research. He eventually was admitted to Swarthmore College, a small Quaker liberal arts college with an excellent Engineering Department, graduating in 1951. He continued his studies at MIT, and then went to work in the aerospace industry. Tosh loved helicopters and worked primarily in helicopter rotor design. He worked briefly with Kaig Kurkjian on the HK1 aircraft and worked for Vertol Corporation until it was purchased by Boeing in 1960. He closed out his professional career at Boeing Rotorcraft Systems in Ridley Park, PA. He also had a passion for teaching and taught at Swarthmore College, Drexel University and at Widener University. His daughter, Elizabeth, writes :"I am sure the Pickett was his favorite slide rule. He must have had one at work and one at home because I don't think I ever saw his desk at home with out a yellow slide rule on it." Expanded biography

Original Owner: John Vincent Atanasoff, (1903-1995) Father of the First Digital Computer.
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer was the world's first electronic digital computer which was built by
John Vincent Atanasoff (Prof. Physics and Mathematics) and Clifford Berry at Iowa State University during 1937-42. It incorporated
several major innovations in computing including the use of binary arithmetic, regenerative memory,
parallel processing, and separation of memory and computing functions. In an interview between Michael Konshak,
the ISRM curator, and John V. Atanasoff II (1927- ), who lives in Boulder, Colorado shared a little known fact. John Junior stated
that his father told him that he received his inspiration for the Digital Computer, after trying to make a more accurate slide
rule. He first built an analog machine, called the "laplaciometer", that used two long lengths of parallel 35mm photographic
film mounted on spools,
with images of [at least] the C and D scales that could be rotated independently to perform calculations.
He became frustrated with the lack of mechanical stability and thermal expansion of the film that created errors. As an
electronic engineer, he then wondered if he could do it electronically. this "Epihany" is the spark (or flash
of genius) that determines the origination of any invention and subsequent U.S. Patents.
On October 19, 1973, US Federal Judge Earl R. Larson signed his decision following a lengthy court
trial which declared the ENIAC patent of Mauchly and Eckert invalid and named Atanasoff the inventor
of the electronic digital computer - the Atanasoff-Berry Computer or the ABC. This scan of one of his
three slide rules at ISRM were provided by the Iowa State University Library,

Gifted by Martha H. Prince in memory of the John Prince Collection, Tuscon, AZ
Jean Jolkovski (1926- ), was issued this slide rule by the U.S. Government in 1948 after serving in WWII, as part of the G.I. Bill
while attending Ohio University. Unfortunately it was stolen in 1949, and he hadn't seen it since. In 2010 Martha Prince donated the slide rule, which was part of her late husband, John Prince's extensive collection to ISRM. In the process of doing some restoration, the ISRM curator looked at the sleeve and noticed there was an Amateur 'Ham' Radio call sign W8EGM\A8AGM on the sleeve. The curator, also a Ham KI0CC, discovered that a Jean Jolkovski was residing in Phoenix, AZ and is still involved in Ham radio with a call sign of W4CIH. When contacted, Jean affirmed that it was his. After this was stolen, Jean paid $20 out of his pocket for a new one as the G.I. Bill only issued one/veteran going to college. Jean received a BS in Electrical Eengineering and MSA in Information Technology and had a career Federal Government contract law. Over 50 years in Government contracts for technology and services. Small business a specialty. Public speaker; workshops on "Doing Business with the Government" , "How to write a winning proposal" and related subjects. Hands-on counselor. As of 2014, Jean is 87 and is an active SCORE mentor. He is the vice president of the Quarter Century Wireless Association Chapter 16 - Barry M. Goldwater Arizona Chapter.

Gifted by son Tim Patterson and family.
(Cont'd) His daughter, Catherine McFeeters of Baltimore, Maryland wrote: "My Dad was really smart. Sometimes it seemed like he was a human Wikipedia. He wasn't one who knew a little bit about a lot of things, he was one of those rare people who knew a lot about a lot of things.
He was a gentle and thoughtful man who analyzed everything in life. He loved projects. Since his death, I've heard many stories about the projects he worked on with the people he cared about. And when you worked on a project with Greg, it may have taken longer than you thought it should, but once it was done, you knew it was always done the best it could be.
His final project was the miniature train route he built around the perimeter of his living room that was suspended 8 feet off the ground. Over a span of about 5 years, he worked on this project sharing his progress with anyone that was willing to take the time to listen. And whether or not you are a train enthusiast, it is easy to see that this a true work of art, just like my Dad's life."

Donated by Vernon Estes, Canyon City, Colorado..
Vern is the founder of Estes Industries who made the first safe black powder rocket motors in
1958 used by members of the newly formed National Association of Rocketry (NAR) . Vern purchased this slide rule
in downtown Denver, Colorado in 1948 when he was in his 3rd year at Westminster Union High School. He used it for advanced math classes in
high school, then later at Central College in McPherson, Kansas. He later founded Estes Industries which began his career
in model rocketry. He says "my trusty slide rule was an indispensible companion". Based on his own experiences, he offered slide rules (see the Pickett 120)
in his sales literature (circa 1964) to help young rocketeers (of which the curator of ISRM was one). Vern engraved his name on the slide rule
so it would not get mixed up with his brother Earl Estes' slide rule, who bought his at the same time and later used it in his engineering career at Hughes Aircraft.

Owned by Arnold D. Strausman, gifted by his daughter Judith B. King of Miami Shoes, Florida.
|
|
Arnold Davidson Straussman (c1908-1983) was an electrical engineer who loved the elegance of math, as well as science and the arts. After graduating from Pratt Institute, NY in 1929, he was employed by the Jersey Central Power and Light Company until 1940. The majority of his career was spent with Ebasco Services headquartered in NY. Ebasco assigned him to a number of domestic and overseas projects. He won numerous awards in Ebasco's Photography Club competitions.
His daughter, Judith King write: "He was an amazing man, and introduced me to astronomy and Scientific American as soon as I could read. He loved math in its pure forms, but also the practicalities of what you could design and build with it. We designed and built a simple radio together before I was out of grade school. " Note: He is listed in Amatuer Radio Stations of the United States June 30, 1920: Call sign: 2AUH (18 watts), located at 601 Asbury Ave, Asbury Park, NJ. Evidently Arnold was building radios while still in high school. This was before W and K prefixes were to call signs in the USA.

Gifted by Norma Tanner of Libertyville, Illinois
Norma has been a participant of the ISRM Slide Rule Loaner Program. In addition, she had her own collection that she loaned out to students. This one is part of the collection sent to ISRM. Norma writes: "After teaching math and/or science for 24 years, I am now enjoying retired life.
Having been educated at MIchigan State University during a time when using a slide rule was the only technology available for advanced calculations, I decided to create a unit of study for my students that would introduce them to the slide rule. My goals were for students to strengthen their ability to estimate and use scientific notation, as well as to discover the historic significance of the slide rule. While it was hard for them to put aside their electronic calculators, they were fascinated, engaged, and thrilled when they could multiply 2 x 3 and actually get 6 instead of 5.9.
In the end my students were happy to be reunited with their calculators, but had a new appreciation for the value of estimating, scientific notation, and accuracy in measurement. Goals met! "

This slide rule belonged to Linus Carl Pauling [1901-1994], one of the most influential
chemists in history as well as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. One of
only 4 individuals ever to have won solo Nobel Prizes in separate and unrelated fields - for chemistry
in 1954, and the Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless campaign against atmospheric nuclear bomb testing
in 1962. He found this slide rule when he was 17 while still in high school. When the rightful owner
was not found, he carried this with him to Oregon State College and used it until he graduated. See his
diary page on the left, dated September 23, 1917. The cursor must have been replaced later as that type
was not available until 1935. Images courtesy of

Gifted by Janet Walker DuBane in memory of her father Merle H. Walker (1911-2013)
This slide rule belonged to Merle H. (Mike) Walker. was one of the most important gun and cartridge designers of the 20th Century, and a leading proponent of benchrest shooting. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1934 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Mike worked for Remington Arms Company for 37 years, as a lead designer and engineer. While at Remington, he created many of Remington's most popular bolt action rifles. For many years, Mike served as Director of Research and head of the Custom Shop at Remington's, Ilion, NY facility.
Mike led the development of many important Remington rifle designs, including the Rem m700, Rem 40X, Rem m721, and Rem m722. Walker held 12 patents from 1945-1972, mostly for trigger designs, and the Remington Stud Driving tool. The History of Remington Firearms by Roy C. Marcot states:
"Without a doubt, the Remington Model 700 is the most popular commercial, high-power, bolt-action rifle in the world. The Model 700 is actually a product-improved Model 721 and Model 722 bolt-action rifle, the brain-child of Merle 'Mike' Walker and his Remington design team in the 1940s."
Mike is largely credited with the development of the .222 Rem (aka "Triple Deuce") which dominated short-range Benchrest competitions. The B&W photo is from Field and Stream magazine.
Mike was one of the "founding fathers" of the International Benchest Shooters (IBS). Mike shot in the 2010 IBS Nationals at age 99 and worked in his shop even at the age of 101. He was a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association and the Campfire Club of America, and was credited in Cambridge Whos Who in December 2012. His daughter, Janet Walker DuBane, is a graduate of Cornell University.

later as a weight and balance engineer for Martin Aircraft Company during WWII. He joined the NYC Board of Water and was listed in the city record as a
NYC Engineering Inspector on August of 1938. The city record of
March 21, 1942 shows Max being promoted from Archetectural daftsman to Assistant Architect with an annual salary of $4500. He worked on
dams and tunnels that supply drinking water to the city. The K&E Polyphase was in constant use for construction projects and it was used to pass his
Professional Engineer exam in 1949. After he transferred to the NYC planning Commision in 1955, the slide rule came home. Max retired as the
Deputy Chief Engineer in 1973.Max gave it to his son, when Stephen Kozerowitz left for college in the fall of 1955. Stephen used the K&E after
graduating as an engineer and worlked on the second deck of the George Washington Bridge, the World Trade Center in 1965. By 1970 Stephen went
from engineering roles to project and program managemeny and the duplex slide rule was replaced by electronics by 1979.

Nick Kratz writes" This is [part of - see Halden Calculex] the combined surviving collection of my father, R.W. Kratz Jr,( - 2008) and father, R.W. Kratz, Sr.( - 1942)
My grandfather (Sr.) who, amongst other things, was an electrical and HVAC engineer
. My father was in International Licensing, and as i recall worked with a company in the UK (unfortunately i don't remember which company, and my father died in 2008) which licensed the Hughes-developed IC and did bring a product to market (4-function, not scientific, so not directly threatening slide rules. This would have been 1972 or thereabouts). I was 16 years old in 1975. I remember my father showing me, maybe a few years prior, how to use a slide rule. This was of course happening as the affordable scientific calculators were rolling out, bringing with them disruptive change. I never did have enough interest to learn the slide rule, with simple battery-operated greater precision at my fingertips. My loss if i survive the end of the world where there is a slide rule but no functioning calculator, though given that I'm having trouble surviving in this world as it is, I'm not particularly concerned about that. ;-) I was amongst the first engineering generation (electrical, in my case) who started out with calculators and never used slide rules."

Arnold Davidson Straussman (c1908-1983) was an electrical engineer who loved the elegance of math, as well as science and the arts. After graduating from Pratt Institute, NY in 1929, he was employed by the Jersey Central Power and Light Company until 1940. Then later with Ebasco Services headquartered in NY.
His daughter, Judith King write: "He was an amazing man, and introduced me to astronomy and Scientific American as soon as I could read. He loved math in its pure forms, but also the practicalities of what you could design and build with it. We designed and built a simple radio together before I was out of grade school. " Note: He is listed in Amatuer Radio Stations of the United States June 30, 1920: Call sign: 2AUH (18 watts), located at 601 Asbury Ave, Asbury Park, NJ. Evidently Arnold was building radios while still in high school.

He remained in St. Louis for 13 years, then returned to Hopkins in 1955 as vice president of the university and hospital, and as a professor of microbiology. In 1959, he became director of the department of microbiology, and remained in that post until his death in 1971. The Wood Basic Science Building at Hopkins is named in his honor.

Gift of Dan Swerdlow, Bethesda, Maryland.
This slide rule was originally manufactured in 1930 with an all-glass cursor, which was very fragile. When the new
improved metal framed cursor came out in 1936, it was replaced. Unfortunately, the first celluloid blocks suffered KERCS and 50 years later they crumbled. ISRM restored this slide rule using a Ricoh 'look-a-like' OEM cursor made in Japan in 1960. See the comparison. This cursor may be seen on SIC 153, Lafayette F686, Mocronta 150/157 and many others. It is a compatible swap for all the K&E and Dietzgen 10inch Duplex slide rules including the 20inch duplexes, like the 4081-5. You just have to decide if the Relay/Ricoh bamboo slide rule is more valuable to you than your old mahogany K&E.

Although he retired in 1995, he continued to contribute to the paper until 2010. During his tenure, Cowen earned many awards, including the Stack-Grady medal given by the American Chemical Society for sustained achievement in science communication to the public. He also won an award that is now named after him, the AGU 2001 Robert C. Cowen Award for Sustained Achievement in Science Journalism from American Geophysical Union, of which he was a lifetime member. He was also a member of the Sigma Xi Honor Society - an international honor society for science and engineering, a contributor to MIT's Technology Review and an active supporter of natural science students at MIT.

Gift Of Nancy Morris of Tempe, Arizona. Dustin E. Morris Collection
Dustin E. Morris (1939-2017) Dustin, shown in this photo, holdin his father's slide rule next to a Navy ship model. His father was a Naval engineer, so he started out young using a slide rule. He enlisted in the Coast Guard after high school where he started his career in electronics. Dusty worked for Motorola in the Phoenix area for 33 years. He went to ASU in the evenings until he earned his engineering degree. Dusty was a ham radio operator W7ITM who enjoyed building his own equipment. He was an active member of the Motorola Amateur Radio Club of Arizona (MARCA) He presented "Home Brew SWR Bridge" during his last year at age 78. Of the mmany slide rules donated to ISRM, by his wife, Nancy, this is one he used quite often in his Amatuer radio hobby. You can see other slide rules from his personal collection in the ISRM galleries.

Donated By Richard Plastino, Lakewood, Colorado.
Richard Plastino originally used a Post slide rule for his engineering education at the University of Idaho from 1963 to 1967. The Post slide rule came to an unfortunate end after Richard received a grade of "20" on a statics exam and used the slide rule to strike a traffic sign a short distance outside the engineering building. This K&E was the replacement and both it and Richard made it the rest of the way through school with no smashing events. Dick retired in 2008 after serving as Public CWorks Director for the City of Lakewood, Colorado for 28 years.

Gift of Edward T. Wright of Odenton, Maryland.
Edward Wright (on left) received his B.A. with Honors in Mathematics from Rhodes College (formerly Southwestern at Memphis) in 1968, followed by his
Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Notre Dame in 1973. Ed's thesis was on compact Kahler manifolds that admit Killing vector fields.
After graduate school Dr. Wright was a visiting assistant professor at Notre Dame for one school year,then worked as an (applied) mathematician for the Department of Defense for 39 years. Ed retired 2014. Ed writes: "The only time I ever used a slide rule was in high school physics (1963/64). I started collecting them off of Ebay in the 2004/5 time period. I continue to marvel at how much was accomplished with these instruments. I am in the process of down sizing the modest collection that I have, and wanted them to go some place that will preserve this part of the technology."

This slide rule was owned by American Astronaut Gordon Cooper who purchased this in 1949 to
use in flight school, then continued to use it during his Air Force and NASA career.
Leroy Gordon Cooper, Jr. (1927-2004), also known as Gordon Cooper, was an
American aeronautical engineer, test pilot and one of the seven original astronauts in Project
Mercury, the first manned space program of the United States. Cooper piloted the longest and
final Mercury spaceflight in 1963. The B&W NASA photo is from May 16, 1963, just after the
successful recovery of the Mercury Faith-7 mission. He was the first American to sleep in space
during that 34-hour mission and was the last American to be launched alone to conduct an
entirely solo orbital mission. In 1965, Cooper flew as command pilot of Gemini 5.
