Slide rule art
There are millions of slide rule photos (including nude ones) on the net,
there are also some slide rule cartoons. But in ASCII art slide rule
hasn't been represented yet in the way it deserves. This page fills
this gap a little bit.
Assorted pictures of different authors
This is my very first slide rule picture.

This rule by Axel Poque is really big.
I think you may even do calculation with it.

Now some small ones (tie clips):

,,JE[|]F~~ by Nate / DAC
Unfortunately the above one is designed with font where ~ symbol
is located in the top of the char space. This is not true for all fonts.
For some browsers this one may look better:
,,,,,,,
,,JE[|]F""
And more tie clips:
