Gary, I have never seen any but that doesn't mean there aren't any. In my collection of what I call "End of Era" slide rules, the Pickett is the only one with...
Marion, Do you know any of the history as to why the base 10 was favored ? Was it only for the ability to match powers of e on DF/m to the LLs ? Gary Flom ... ...
There is an easier way of determining the base for the LL scales. Look at the LEFT end of the scale that has the upper range at the right end. There is the...
On my Aristo 868 & 968 the LL3 scale e^x has the index mark e under 1 on D. The Aristo 0968 is also marked e on LL3 The Faber Castell 57/89also had e marked om...

Hi: I'm new to this group and have followed with interest the discussions on different slide rules. In reference to this discussion, which one of these rules...
John, I agree that this is the best way -- and I also look as you say to determine the base. But even the bases you list don't go to 10^10 as a rule. In...
Depending on how you count various arrangements and reverse or inverse markings, the Pickett N4 has 34 or 35 scales as does the Flying Fish 1003. There are...
Does anyone know when Nestler stopped using screws in the ends of the scales? Has anyone ever taken these screws out to see what falls apart? I'm afraid to. ...

The first one that comes to mind is a plastic Hemmi that I have at home. As I unreliably recall, the CF scale is folded at 3.6 as well as the LL scale being...
