    Nice Curio! Several of these photos are flipped left/right which you might want to fix. The bottom left and bottom right, and either the top middle or the other two on either side are flipped (hard to know which is correct, here, but the order on the couch shows there is a flip going on).

    The sliders are indeed to keep track of the decimal point during calculations, and to separate 1000s, like in 1000000=1.000.000. It is the "Model II" in their series of "Nova Brunsviga" machines. "Nova"=new. Their older Brunsviga machines were licensed copies of ODHNER pinwheel calculators, were the rotation counter was to the left of the results register. The new design made for a more compact machine with a smaller footprint on the desk. You can do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with these calculators. Using TOEPLER's method, one can calculate square roots, too. Other calculations involve mathematical series and/or approximation methods to calculate trigonometric functions or higher roots etc. So, for the mathematically gifted, these calculators were a real help. It was used in business calculations, too, and the instruction manuals for these machines gave very nice examples for everyday office calculations in accounting, salary payment, banking etc.

    Many thanks for this appreciation of Syd's work. Unaware at the time of his connection to the school I was also a pupil at Perth Academy and for a while lived just around the corner from Malvina Place in Perth and although I didn't know of Jeff Hawke at the time my eyes were opened when the Daily Record started Lance McLane and I faithfully clipped every single strip until the sudden and very unexpected end of that strip. Still have them in a shoe box in the loft. The Jeff Hawke club have now finished reprinting every Hawke and McLane(as Hawke) story now - very well worth collecting if you can find them as are the Italian reprints - even if you don't speak the language. I've been fortunate enough to correspond with Syd and at one stage had worked on a CGI version of McLane to continue the strip but the demands of family and the need for a regular 9-5 wage took me in other directions. That said, I learned a great deal about drawing and panel construction from Syd, lessons I still use to this day in my strip art - when time allows of course. Thanks again for the appreciation.

    I trained as a nurse at Ninewells Hospital and Dundee Royal Infirmary 1980-1983. I also worked there as a Staff Nurse in urology in 1984 at the DRI. I loved the DRI and for a time lived in the Dalgleish Nurses Home - had a wonderful room in the attic overlooking Dudhope Park. The DRI was a wonderful place to live and work. I loved the old school nurses who taught me so much (even though I was a bit scared of a lot of them :) and the great community at the hospital. I guess I didn't appreciate its history so much at the time, but nonetheless I adored that old building and as I approach my retirement, its place in my personal history. Thanks for the video :)
