Slide rules HOME page COLLECTION 10" RULES U.S.A.
Make Pickett, USA
Model N531-ES, Capitol Radio Engineering Institute
Notes

1. This rule was specially made by Pickett for the Capitol Radio Engineering Institute. (See also the rule made for the Cleveland Institute of Electronics).
2. Despite the overlap in their functionality the rules are quite different. This one for example is a duplex the other is simplex.
3. This rule has a scale labelled 2p which is actually 1/2p. On this scale the value of 1.59 is opposite the 1 on the D scale and 1/2p = 0.1591.
4. The rule also has a couple of special gauge points.
