After getting the 4 pages scanned at greater resolution as PDF, even the best .jpg I can convert them to doesn't look good.
Anyone interested can PM me your email address and I will send you the 4 PDF files.
I did upload new .jpg images to my MISC album, but they are no better than the first ones.

We need more engineers like Mr. Kudash today. Just think, all he had was a slide rule and a drafting table. No computers. Those were good days.

WOW! Someone still knows about slide rules....Keen stuff. A 6 inch one is still in use here. No batteries required....LOL
 
Have you heard the one about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with his slide rule.

Seriously, I still have the one my dad gave me when I went of to college. It's a 12 incher and is in a nice leather case. I haven't used it in over 60 years.
 
One great thing about a slide rule is that no one will ever take it off your desk. Calculators were often "appropriated" by fellow technicians--but never my slide rule.
 
The good ole slip stick got me through my Freshman and Sophomore years in engineering school. Not only were no batteries required, it eliminated the tendency of overstating the number of significant digits which many with calculators don't understand. I still have it along with my dads slide rule.
 
Another plus for slide rules is the skill required to determine the order of magnitude. The engineer must have an approximate idea of expected magnitude of results. I used them through my BS degree. Hand held calculators came out when I was working on an MS.

Thanks Glenn, Ronnie, George Kudash and all the rest of you! I hope some people that haven't already seen these brochure pages enjoy them. They came with my coupe my late friend built and I purchased from his heirs to keep the car in the area and in our EFV8 RG.
 
Here is something you guys might like - I found it about 10 years ago.

It is the top of an original Ardun packing crate - king of cool if you ask me. ;)

Thanks to all who posted. I still have the R&C issues with the Ardun White Paper series which came out a year after I graduated from High School. Someday I might get to put together the set I have or fire up my old Ardun powered race car. Probably running out of time. Tom Senter could sure write, he made a technical series fun to read.
