This lot holds two Keiffer & Esser Load Range slide rule calculators marked: B-52G and B-52GaH. These are calculators for pre-flight take-off and landing estimations for the B-52 long range bombers built by Boeing. The K&E B-52 GaH is in the original leather case. These tools would require extensive training by the pilots and navigators. An interesting devise where the fuel load, ammo., missile ordinance, and cargo loads are calculated fore and aft on the aircraft. It was replaced by a circular model in 1963. These tools were considered confidential until recently because the B-52 is still considered nuclear warfare ready and there are still 76 B-52s in operation today. A very rare find for slide rule or aviation collectors. No international sales. [
