REMARKS:
=============================================================
This Circular Slide Rule was the greatest bargain in the Bay
Area's huge ALAMEDA FLEA MARKET in May 2006 - it was free!
We got back our purchase price because it fall apart as the
seller put it in the bag... It was dirty, had two broken
cursors and a missing center screw.
The cursors are now made of PVC and reinforced at the ends
with slices made from a cat food can. The hairlines are made
with a sharp » X-ACTO « and colored with a permanent marker.
Historical Remarks ...
