How to measure the markings on the slide rule? A, B, C, and D Scale.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #543 of 559 |
As an end of the year assignment my high school students are making
their own slide rules. Most will use a simple ABCD scale that I give

One of those wants to use a CNC machine to engrave the markings in Lexan.
Does anybody have some information on how far apart the markings are
on these 4 scales?
