I recently was given a 5" plastic SR marked FULLERTON-ACU , No 1200, and it was stamped MADE IN U.S.A.. Hopp's book says Fullerton was a Japanese company...

After perusing Clark McKoy's most excellent K & E site, I am under the impression that 4041 SRs had cm scale extensions in the well until 1913. The later SRs...
... I can't confirm it, but I can offer a few clues. I have one of the shorter 4041s that came with a leather case on which the original owner had stamped his...

Hopp occasionally confuses manufacturer with distributor. I suspect Fullerton was a US distributer and brand name rather than a manufacturer. As such they...

Paul Maspos, Fullerton seems to have been a slide rule brand in the sense that Dietzgen was, i.e., the rules were made by several others and Dietzgen sold them...

One of the skills I picked up in a previous career. I had to use both hands at the same time, tying a square knot one handed while wearing wet surgical gloves...
Hi Gary, I can't give an entirely intelligent solution to your problem mainly because I forgot how to solve equations with a sr. But if you can help me a...
Chris, For others who wish to follow along, the original equation is : log [ x ^ (3/5) ] = [ x ^ (3/5) + 1] / 10 Think of a substitution, as you suggested : x...
Gary, It's nice to see that there are other people out there who plan to never "grow up." Happy 4th to all those who celebrate such things, our British...
Hi Gary and others, If you would permit another scale it would be a lot easier to get that cube root. You could use the L and D scales like a loglog scale. I ...
Chris, I guess you might call it Newton's method "for SRs" . Lets look at the prob as below. 32^ (1/3). Estimate cb rt = 3. Cursor to 3 on D. 3 on CI to...

I would be grateful if you math mavens could lay out some artful log log slide rule moves for the continuous compounding formula, which is: Growth Multiple = e...
Ed, (my non-math maven method), I would probably think of it like this : Say period = .5 Cursor to 5 on D. Then put rate on CI under cursor. (intermediate ans...
... You can just use the C and D scales to compute Rate * Periods in the conventional manner: set the C index opposite one of the operands on the D scale,...
I noticed a couple of scale layouts that I hope someone can give some insight about. On the Pickett N3P: There are 50 subdivisions between 2 and 3 on DF and...
