Relativator

Relativator

The relativator was a pre-calculator era circular slide rule designed to perform calculations of Einstein’s special theory of relativity.

It was produced by Atomic Laboratories, Inc.

As calculators and computers eclipsed older technologies such as slide rules, the relativator slipped into oblivion.
