Slide rules HOME page COLLECTION 10" RULES UNITED KINGDOM
Make Hardmuth, England
Model Series IV
Notes

1. The rules were made in a similar way to Unique rules - that is paper scales covered by clear plastic.
2. The sine and tan scales, at the top and bottom of the stock, are used respectively with the A and D scales giving a range from 35' to 90° for the sin scale and 5° 45' for the tan scale.
3. The tables on the back have densities of wood and metal and a rather unusual table, shown below, on the relative weights of wood patterns and metal castings for different woods and metals.
