It's really worth looking at a few of the collections. There are lots of slide rules on display, and many if not most are far beyond plain linear slide rules. (

- ghaff 3y agoCardboard slide rules of various times--often used as advertising--used to be very common for calculations and/or lookup tables.
- sheepshear 3y agoThere are still a few companies that make them. Called "slide charts", since they come in many forms besides just the "rule" form. I look into having them made every now and then, but it seems like the minimum order quantity is almost universally 500. It would be nice if there was a modern style of e-print service for smaller quantities.
