    Description

    This was the calculator used in engineering, business, science, finance and schools. No batteries needed. Today it still works but it is an anachronism.
    It is made of plastic laminate on wood with engraved markings. Made in the USA. It still can be used to solve many problems in multiplication, division, powers, reciprocals, trigonometric functions and logarithms. It can calculate from 10 to the 99th power as well as 10 to the -99th power. In fact, an experienced user may find it faster than an electronic calculator. Alas, it doesn't do graphs.
    The slide rule is in excellent condition as is its leather case. Please see the pictures. It does have a history and some dirt accumulation which you may wish to retain or clean.
