---|---|---|
Sort | ? L/C/D/T/W/X where L=Linear, C=circular, D=Drum, T=tubular, W=watch, X=miscellaneous (i.e. the rest) | L |

Material | ? Basic description: ivory/bone/wood/bakelite/plastic/metal/cardboard or combinations e.g. wood/veneered, wood/painted, etc | plastic |
Length | ? Mostly the linear length of the D scale (in cm or inches) excluding any extensions. For circular/watch slide rules it is the diameter but for helical/tubular/drum slide rules it is the overall scale length. For other calculating aids it is the physical length. | 25cm |
Scales front | ? Standard (not maker’s) symbols for scales on front face e.g. A = X² (1-100) but § = generic symbol (signum sectiōnis) for any non-standard scale + scales between solidi / / are on the slide(s) whereas scales after vertical line | or after reversed solidus \ are on a straight or bevelled top or bottom side edge | cm \ A / B,C / D |
Scales back | ? Standard (not maker’s) symbols for scales on back face e.g. S = sine (5° to 90° & 85° to 0°) or sin(x) but § = generic symbol (signum sectiōnis) for any non-standard scale + scales between solidi / / are on the back of slide(s) but scales listed after / / - notation are on another surface e.g. back of stock or inside a lid | |
Cursor type | ? Basic description (incl. material) + no. of hairlines, etc on any cursor(s) or alternative to a cursor - e.g. a stylus | magnifying plastic - 1 hairline + 2 peripheral hairlines |
Condition | ? Cn where n = 0-6 condition/quality scale where 0 = brand new in box & 6 = broken | C3 |
Date | ? YYYY for year(s) of production or an approximation/range of years | 1957-1961 |
Extras | ? Basic description of any accessories - e.g. case or stand + where relevant, an accreditation for image, etc | grey linen covered case with ARISTO & SIPLEX in red + image courtesy of Rod Lovett |
