Hell yes and I had the K & E metal rule with engraved white plastic faces that came in a leather case
Used it in college for all my physics and chem classes
Before the calc age when the experiment took 30" and the calculations on the slide rule took 4 hours...Long before Excel
In statistics we had these funky mechanical adding machines that were activated with a long crank
In fact when the first Tex Inst calculator came ou,t I decided to buy one for my dad on father's day on sale from 100 down to 85 bucks
,and all it could doo was add subtract multiply and divide.
