Is 7d. outcome? o-t-o-e, Not within reach, as a result - ok with definition part but not sure of cryptic.
27a. s-i-e -u-e. Transparency by government that calculating person used to manipulate. I'm missing something! Otherwise complete.

27a. I used a slide rule at school.
7d. out = not within
reach = come

[mike11111]

OUT - not within
COME (to) - reach
OUTCOME - result

27a Slide rule. If you're under 60 you probably won't get that one.

Well over 60 but never quite got the hang of slide rules, found it easier to do it in head - or on scrap of paper. Thank to you both.
