I still have my K&E log log decitrig slide rule and Paragon drawing instrument set purchased in 1954, my freshman year at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute.
I also used K&E surveying instruments for the surveying class. One of the graduation requirements was to survey around the block on North Avenue where Poly was located. I remember one wag shouting out to the Principal, "No, no, Dr. Dehuff! Don't step off that curb, we just proved it's 15 feet high!"
It was a lot of fun browsing through that catalog.
