Hello. I have just bought an Aristo MultiLog 0970 which is pretty identical to my Aristo 0971 HyperboLog 0971 in construction. They both have a cursor which...

I have a 52/82 D-Stab made in Switzerland (as opposed to Germany) and it has an additional S' scale on the slide instead of the CI scale to cover for the...

Hi, If anyone is interested in the book "Rigla de Calcul" (The Slide Rule) by I. Irimescu, Bucharest, Romania, 1978, describing the three Tehnolemn models...
Hi Zvi: Do NOT move the entire assembly to the right ends of D and K! Keep it in position at the left end. Then it is definitely a lot easier. This is also ...
I just realise that I don't really know, but I've always assumed it meant "Duplex-Stab" ("Stab" being shorthand for "Rechenstab", i.e. "slide rule"). When I...
I think it possibly means "The Stick" or "The Staff". "Stab" is German for Stick or Staff. "D" may be an abbreviation for "die" or maybe it just signified...
Zvi, Doesn't your swiss D-stab have the CI scale on the reverse side of the slide? The SlideRule Museum http://www.sliderulemuseum.com/ shows three ...
Zvi, I generally use contemporary blue painters' masking tape to hold cursors or slides in position while making adjustments. It generally do not leave...
Does anyone know anything about Lutz slide rules? I recently acquired a Lutz 300B. Apparently there are not many of these out there, unlike the 102 and 252...
"Stab" can be understood also as "personnal" like in personnal computer (PC) Philippe ... De : sliderule@yahoogroups.com [mailto:sliderule@yahoogroups.com] De...
Zvi, Perhaps this could be accomplished in front of or on a mirror? That way, you can arrange to see the alignment marks and hairline on the first side while ...
Hi John There is no movement from the left side to the right side. The whole process takes place on the right according to the (HyperboLog - virtually...

Hi Steve: Yes, I believe your Lutz 300B is a very rare slide rule. For six years I have been compiling a list of slide rules with hyperbolic scales and have...
This reminds me of a Relay 157 I have - on that one, the cursor only has screws on one side. The window on the other side is held in place by four internally...
Hi Ray The scales on my D-Stab are: T1,T2,DF[CF,CIF,S',C,D]S,ST,P L,K,A[B,BI,CI,C]D,LL1,LL2,LL3 So yes, there is a CI on the other side, however that means...

I wouldn't exactly call the BI scale "redundant" in all situations. For those older SR users who preferred to use A vs. B scales as their main mult./div....
Hi Steve, You you are the person who out bid me.... I had asked the seller about the condition of the slide and specifically the cursor and cursor guides as...
I saw an interview with Jean Auel today. She is the author of the Earth's Children books, the latest which is the Shelters of Stone. Among other topics, she...
Steve: Thanks for response. I have pulled off eBay pictures. Am going to contact you off site as we are using a lot of sliderule@yahoogroups.com space, and I...
I have tried the procedure again and confirmed that if you loosen three screws just a tiny bit, you don't have to hold the window at all, only steadying the...
Hi Scott - it was the seller's answer to your question that caused me to ignore the strange looking end bars and assume that was normal for Lutz rules. Once I...
Greetings, There are a lot of things we do on this list which may not be obvious to newcomers, and some of us veterans need reminders from time to time, too....

Hi Cyron Although the use of the A B BI scales will result in less need to shift indexes from left to right or vice versa, you of course only get half the...

Hello Just got a Faber Castell Business 1/22 which in essence is very similar to the 1/28 Super Business I already had. It is a fairly late version with a ...

Could find no info about the 300 but there are Lutz drafting supplies on ebay and sliderule universe. Those were made in Italy. I don't know where the scale...

You are absolutely correct in that there is a certain loss of precision in using the A/B scales, but how much? Really? This has been discussed on this site...
John A/B compared to C/D is an interesting subject. In the early years of the slide rule, pre 1920, the trig scales were referenced to the A/B scales. The ...
