Astounding vol. 47, no. 3 (May 1951)

This composition is so terrible it barely deserves the name. It's just four things chucked down on paper. I love the slide rule though. I actually own one although I can barely use it to do 2 + 2.

Looks like it's riffing off that painting of a train coming out of a fireplace, the Magritte one.

"Time Transfixed" by Rene Magritte, that's it

@SFFMagazineCovers [in explainy voice] "Addition and subtraction steps in a calculation are generally done mentally or on paper, not on the slide rule."
