A ruler with physical constants and conversion factors belongs to the set together with an instruction booklet. Historical Remarks ... Compare the SCALE DESIGN with the NESTLER »PRAEZISION«, the »WICHMANN-1417« ( made by A.N. = Albert Nestler), the POST-1442 » Dual 10"/5" POCKET-SR « and the FABER-CASTELL »COLUMBUS/A.Rohrberg« impressum: ************************************************************ © C.HAMANN http://public.BHT-Berlin.de/hamann 12/27/07 |
