Brand New Slide Rules
Slide rules in original plastic bags have not been cleaned or aligned. Some collectors, including myself, like having rules that have been sealed since they left the factory. However, 35-40 years of storage have effect even on slide rules in sealed plastic bags: The metal end brackets have dulled; the stators are usually out of alignment and some gritty material has deposited the celluloid surface. The rules can be returned to 1970 condition with a wipe-down of Windex and metal polish on the end brackets. I will be glad to do that for you but it will delay shipment for a few days.

These rules have never been used and show no wear; I opened the original factory sealed plastic bags myself. But they date from the very first year this model was manufactured (date code "DI") and have been stored for 55 years. Overall appearance is good but there is some yellowing and close examination reveals a few spots of flaking plating on the cursor. |

Ten-inch
duplex bamboo slide rule for chemists and chemical engineers. Front
scales (L, K, A, DF [CF, CIF, CI, C] D, LL3, LL2, LL1) are designed for
efficient multiplication, division and exponentiation. Rear scales (Ch
A-M, Ch N-Z, M1 [M2, ToF, ToC, ToK, LM]
mmHg, Kg/cm2, in hg Vac, tw) are designed for calculations
involving molecular weight, temperature and pressure. For example,
the first two scales constitute a table of molecular weights; setting
the hairline on "H2O" automatically places the hairline on 18.3
(the molecular weight of water) on the D scale. There are many other
calculations which I don't understand but you can figure out since it comes
with an instruction manual. Complete with brown leather Hemmi flip-top
case.
Small ODELCO trademark on front of rule plus "HEMMI JAPAN NO. 257L" on back. Frederick Post model 1491 Chemistry Rule was based on an earlier version of this rule. Rule is unused and still sealed in factory plastic. Case is perfect. Instructions are a photocopy of the orginal manual. (Original factory manual is available for an extra charge.) |

slide rule, case, Aristo #1364 “Scale of Preferred Numbers,” 36-page Instruction
Manual in English, pair of clip-on desk supports, and original shelf box.
Scales are ST, T1, T2, DF [CF, CIF, CI, C] D, P, S and
LL01, LL02, LL03, A [B, L, K, C] D, LL3, LL2, LL1. In addition
to full width hairlines, there is one auxiliary hairline on the front of
the cursor and three on the back.
Rule is all “Aristopal” plastic. Case (imprinted “ARISTO Germany”) is top-quality imitation leather sewn over a plastic frame. The Aristo #1364 “Scale of Preferred Numbers” is a varnished pasteboard ruler containing several logarithmic scales for plotting logarithmic graphs and a table of important constants and conversion factors. These slide rules came directly from the distributor; they have never been used. Edges are sharp; lettering is crisp. No scratches, chips or dings. However, 40 years of storage in their cases have had effect: Color from the brown plastic end brackets has migrated onto the white body plastic; this appears as a brown stain near the fasteners at the left end of the slide rule in the picture. (Picture shows typical.) It is possible that this staining will disappear in time. The varnish on the #1364 “Scale of Preferred Numbers” has melted and cracked in places. Although the cases appear in mint condition they are somewhat brittle. Some of the boxes are crushed at one end (picture shows worst box); best boxes ship first. |
