Its applications include plumbing, water service, fire protection, hydronic piping (liquids), radiant heating and cooling, snow and ice melting, geothermal ground loops, district heating, and turf conditioning.

    We will never need a System Syzer ® again. Farewell Gill, You and your slide rule will be missed.

    This reminds me of Mr. Weaver who used to work for my Father. He calculating Degree Days for Automatic delivery customers, on a Slide Rule. He showed me how it works for making math problems easier to figure when I was about 10 years old. He was about 80 years old. When he retired, the folks from IBM showed up with a bunch of big gray machines and boxes of cards with holes in them to replace him.

    Now all we need is a robot that can do the work of installing those pipes.

    EDIT: this calculator is pretty awesome @Erin Holohan Haskell

    Neat! Wish I'd had that years ago... And nicely done and thought out interface, too. Not always the case.

    Thank you!

    Been wanting to figure out a way to repurpose two B&G Series 100 red and brass circulators after replacing with Taco 007/0015 - hate for them to go to waste.
    Would be strictly DIY tinkering for maybe small scale snow melt, solar hotwater panels, etc.
