The TRIGONOMETRIC SCALES  are divided in  MINUTES(') & SECONDS(")

ATTENTION:    Scale [tan(X)] refers to the reciprocal [CI] scale.

This beautiful aluminum slide rule  came in a brown leather cover
with the "blind print" »MEISSNER«.  Like the  »RIETZ-SPEZIAL-360«
the  BODY-ENDS  are embedded (not glued) in metal ends  and fixed
with four metal pins.

The "CU-MARKERS"  REISS-ELEKTRO  vs.  FABER-CASTELL-ELEKTRO 1/98:
*****************************************************************
My friend  Klaus Kraemer  made me aware of an INCONSISTENCY here!
On my own "Research" I found out something curious:

Copy of the FABER-CASTELL 1/98 MANUAL, p.26 ...

 

The FABER-CASTELL-ELEKTRO 1/98 has the SAME SCALES, BUT ...

MARKERS on REISS-ELEKTRO       CU(Ω) = 22   ;    CU(g) = 143  ???
MARKERS on F.-C. 1/98       BLACK-CU = 1782 ;   RED-CU = 1122
   same on F.-C. 111/98  (= Marks on SCALE A )

B U T   on F.-C. 378     (= Marks are ON SCALE  ===>>>  D  !!!)
   same on F.-C. 1/98/398   BLACK-CU = 1482 ;   RED-CU = 3782

When these figures are  SQUARED, RESULTS ARE CLOSE TO REISS'  !!!
Q U E S T I O N :   HAS  FABER-CASTELL  MADE  AN   E R R O R  ???
*****************************************************************
R E M A R K :  NESTLER-ELEKTRO_37 Markers ref. to CU-Conductivity 
               on all its scales ( on C/D  &  2x on A/B ) CU = 57

A  look in  T E C H   T A B L E S  ( eg. HUETTE_IV_A, p.808 ) ...
   +---------------------------------------------------------+
   |    Copper Conductivity  CU(Ω) = 57 [ m /( Ω * mm2 )]    |
   |    Copper Spec.Weight   CU(g) = 8.9 [ g/cm3 ]           |
