It came in a display box with leather case and a 96 pages manual. This slide rule has the typical "Pickett-Yellow" body: The "-ES" in the model number means "Eye-Saver"; Models with the "-T"-Ext. (for "Traditional") have a white body. On the box the term "synchrolog" 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 N600-ES is famous for historical reasons: It accompanied the astronauts on board of five Apollo moon flights...
