MIT Museum
Slide Rule Exhibition Planning Workshop.
Report and images by Jim Cerny. December 2004.
In 2004, InteliCoat Technologies made a gift of the
K&E factory samples cabinet of slide rules to the MIT Museum.
On November 6, 2004, MIT Museum curator Debbie Douglas
made a presentation to the East Coast Oughtred Society
Meeting, describing that gift and offering to host the
2005 meeting at the MIT Museum.
On December 8, 2004, Debbie Douglas organized
a workshop to help in planning for the exhibition of
the gift of the K&E factory collection.
These pictures were taken informally by Jim Cerny with a 2.1
megapixel Nikon CoolPix 950 camera. Click on each thumbnail
