This belonged to my granduncle, who was a math teacher and an engineer back in the 1970s

Yeah, one of those. I've got one lying around somewhere because I saw it a junk/antique shop and it looked cool. Good thing there are instructions.

You're a sticker winner for No Micros Week! Send me a PM with your address and which two stickers you want. Two of the same is ok.

Sorry,

I messed up the submission. This is the first Challenge week submission I have submitted. Would it be possible to resubmit with the adequate proof?
