REMARKS:
===================================================================
Models 803 have the same scales as the later Models N803 - but here
all are black.  They came with a leather case, which can be clipped
on the user's belt - typical for the USA:  As seen in the  "Western
Movies" ready for a "quick draw".

The models are made of aluminum.  The typical "Pickett-Yellow" has
an  "-ES"-Extension  in  the  model-number,  means  "Eye-Saver".
The white one has a  "-T"-Extension,  stands for  "Traditional".

The term "SYNCRO SCALE" stands for the combined LogLog scales:
They are designed as a uniquely, split long scale, and, because
LL+/- are reciprocal, 2. & .5 (eg.) share the same tick.

The term "DUAL BASE" means:
Using the D scale X, the LL scales result in Power-of-E( X ).
Using the CFM scale X, the LL scales result in Power-of-10( X ). 
< where E=2.71828 ;  M=lg(E)=0.43429 ;  1/M = ln(10)=2.30259 >
