There are  2   V E R S I O N S  of the » N4-ES « in the collection:
===================================================================
Both have the print "COPYRIGHT 1959" on the sliders,
but  d i f f e r e n t   LOGOS,  END-PIECES  & CURSORS ...

Version (A)

     

Version (B)

     

R E M A R K S :
===================================================================
This model is made of aluminum. It 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".

This slide rule has the typical "Pickett-Yellow" body: The "-ES" in
the model number means "Eye-Saver"; Models with the "-T"-Extension
(for "Traditional") have a white body.

With 34 scales it was one of the most sophisticated slide rules!

Using the "syncro" LOG-LOG-Scales:
The LogLog scales are designed as a uniquely, split long scale.
Because LL+/- are reciprocal, 2. & .5 (eg.) share the same tick.

The DF/M-Scale is folded at  1/M  where  e = 2.71828 = EulerConst.
M = lg(e) = 0.43429   and  1/M = ln(10) = 2.30259    IT FOLLOWS:

Using the D-Scale X, the LL-Scales result in Power-of-10( X ) 
Using the DF/M-Scale X, the LL-Scales result in Power-of-e( X ) 

Using the LL-Scales X, the D-Scale result in lgX
Using the LL-Scales X, the DF/M-Scale result in lnX

Using the Hyperbolic Functions:
Start with value on the SH scales ==>> reading SinH on C scale,
  start with value on the C scale ==>> reading ArcSinH on SH.
Start with value on the TH scale  ==>> reading TanH on C scale,
  start with value on the C scale ==>> reading ArcTanH on TH.

There is no CosH(X) scale; make use of the definition:
  TanH(X) = SinH(X)/CosH(X)       ==>>    CosH(X) = SinH(X)/TanH(X)

Example:    CosH(0.345)  =  1.060
---------------------------------
With C and D indices coinciding, set the indicator over X on the SH
scale. Move slide until X on the TH scale is under the hairline.
Read CosH(X) on the D scale under the C index.
