Re: demonstration meter

["RAUBER, JOEL" <JOEL_RAUBER@SDSTATE.EDU>]

One, not very practical suggestion, is to make sure that there isn't one
already buried somewhere deep in a storeroom somewhere.  We have one in our
department that looks like it was bought in 1940's.

It may be located next to the old large demonstration slide rule.

If you can't find it, ask the oldest emeritus professor you can find.  If
that doesn't help, curse the person who cleaned out the storeroom 25 years
ago and got rid of some this "old but goody" useful stuff.
