Details of: Graphoplex - FLEXIMAX

Type? A generic name (e.g. Rietz) or function/use for specialist models (e.g. Meteorology) for grouping similar models across makers. If not “standard” 25cm linear length, preceded by the form (i.e. Demonstration, Desktop, Pocket, Waistcoat, Keyring, Lilliput or Book) + if needed, qualification to distinguish between versions (e.g. early or late). Steel Beams - System Potzsch/Demulder/Gajac
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
Construction? Basic construction form of the body i.e. Closed/solid frame or Open frame or Duplex or Other Closed/solid frame
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 / §,§,§,§,§,§,§,§ / mm
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 chrome/plastic - 1 hairline + 7 named beam profiles
Condition? Cn where n = 0-6  condition/quality scale where 0 = brand new in box & 6 = broken   C2
Date? YYYY for year(s) of production or an approximation/range of years 1950s
Extras? Basic description of any accessories - e.g. case or stand + where relevant, an accreditation for image, etc original fawn linen covered stiff cardboard case with FLEXIMAX branding

Comments ? Any special or noteworthy traits + significant use-related facts + pertinent details of scales/tables in well of stock + any significant tables, etc on the back of the stock

For calculating steel beams according size, weight, profile, etc based on formulae from Potzsch/Demulder/Gajac + two full-width open windows with cursor lines in back

In-Out? MM-YYYY / MM-YYYY of the date added/left the collection or <YYYY if exact MM-YYYY no longer known 04-2021/
