LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS:     US = Upper (2nd) Scale
                           BX = Black slider with
                           UI = Upper Indicator  &
                           LI = Lower Indicator
                           LS = Lower (1st) Scale
--------------------------------------------------------
MULTIPLICATION   2*3 = 6   Set LI of BX to X=2 on LS
                           Set X=1 of US on UI
                           Set BX with UI to X=3 on US
                Product:   Read  X=6  on LI
                                 ===
DIVISION    5/3 = 1.6666   Set BX with LI to X=3 on LS
                           Set X=5 of US on UI
   Divident                Set LI of BX to X=1 on LS
  ---(BX)--- = Quotient:   Read  X=1.6666  on UI
