Here’s a relic: It’s a old TEC Route “calculator” that was issued by the FAA Western Region (this was before FSDO’s) in 1977. You’d look for your departure airport on the left and then you’d slide the white card down until the little arrow pointed to your destination airport, and then you’d see the appropriate TEC route name, route, and altitude in the window at the bottom of the card.
You can see that these were the “Charlie” routes. Now we’re up to “Papa!”
I wouldn't mind having an updated one of these for PE.

Re: TEC Route Slider
That is awesome. We would need 6 of them to handle the existing 424 SoCal TEC Routes.
Looks like this was before the Q,P,M,J classification was created.

Very clever, essentially an analog computer... I love it.

I’m almost certain I have one somewhere here. I definitely had one back in the “old days” ... now I gotta look....
