Ted Rudnicki Memorial Page

The Ted Rudnicki Memorial Page is dedicated to the late Mr. Theodore Rudnicki (or was it Thaddeus? Tadeusz?), who taught Physics at Newark Academy, back around 1964. He taught us how to use a slipstick (slide rule). He taught us how to weigh an automobile (out in the school parking lot) using a bathroom scale, board, rule and protractor. He taught us how to calculate the horsepower of a car using a string, a washer, and a protractor (you also need the car's speedometer). He even introduced us to the science of Murphology.

There is a Theodore Rudnicki in the Social Security Death Index (b. 26 Apr 1915; d. 05 Sep 1988; last residence 07066 Clark, NJ -- Union County; SS# 152-03-5486, issued in New Jersey)
