The TRIGONOMETRIC SCALES are divided in MINUTES(') & SECONDS(")
Because the scales W1/W1' start at 1 and end at sqrt(10)
and the scales W2/W2' start at sqrt(10) and end at 10
the 25 cm NESTLER has the "PRECISION" of a 50 cm slide rule !!!
This historic wooden model came in a black cardboard case.
It has a table with physical constants on its back side.
In the body under the slider is a 31 ... 53 cm ruler.
Historical Remarks ...
The slide rule came in bad shape: The slider was locked, scales
were dirty & scratched, partly broken, partly not glued. The
cursor was from NESTLER, but not the original one: It had to be
modified with an EXTENSION to use the scales from the side too.
"MouseOver" the Cursor to get DETAILED VIEWS ...
Compare the SCALE DESIGN with
the »NESTLER-0270«,
the »WICHMANN-1417« ( made by A.N. = Albert Nestler),
the POST-1442 » Dual 10"/5" POCKET-SR «,
the FABER-CASTELL »COLUMBUS/A.Rohrberg« and
the "modern" FABER-CASTELL »NOVO-DUPLEX«
P.S.: In 2008 the ORIG.CURSOR was found:
