Canada
An American made manual calculating device used by a Canadian electronics engineer in the course of his work. The previous owner of this calculating device was Mr. Bob Bennett, who was born in 1920 in Fort William, Ontario. He attended McGill University, graduating in 1942 with a degree in electrical engineering. During WWII he was in the Signal Corps, stationed in Ottawa from 1942-1946, and was involved in radio design and development. In 1946 Mr. Bennett joined the Canadian Pacific Railway but rejoined the Army in 1947 and remained until 1960 working in radio telecommunication research and development. From 1960 to 1979 Mr. Bennett worked in the Public Service in electronics and telecommunication engineering, largely with D&D.
Function
A calculating device used to determine impedance of a transmission line.
Technical
An example of a specialized slide rule which relates the series components of impedance at any position along an open-wire or coaxial transmission line to the impedance at any other point, the standing wave amplitude ratio [SWR], and the attenuation.
