I always wanted one of those.

My college days involved the use of my Aristo Scholar sliderule, which I found that I still have in a box of bits and bobs 45 years later! "It's a computer, but not as we know it Jim"

Are there blueprints anywhere for this thing. I really want one now. And why won't they divide, would the mechanics just be too intense?
