REMARKS:
=================================================================
The  CURSOR  shows a  Serial(?)Number = F122178  on its top side.

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

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

Later this idea is repeated in the famous  Slide Rule N4-ES

EXAMPLE of using [ Co = 10s-Complement ]-SCALE  with the X-Scale:

   lg(0.01) = -2 = [8] - 10   ====>>>   lg( 1/N ) = [Co] - 10

Historical Remarks ...

This old model is made of  magnesium  alloy.   For restoration it
had to be disassembled,  the oxidized layers  scratched away  and
VASELINE was applied to all sliding parts.  The SR came in a worn
gray soft-plastic case to hook on the user's belt  -  typical for
the USA: As seen in the "Western Movies" ready for a "quick draw"
