Slide rules HOME page COLLECTION 10" RULES GERMANY
Make Faber Castell, Germany
Model 57/88 Students advanced Rietz model.
Notes

1. As its model name suggests this is a learner's rule.
2. Although simple the rule does have a good range of trig scales, two tan scales and an ST scale.
3. As with other earlier Faber Castell rules, the table at the back gives positions of C and D scales for well known constants. However, whereas the earlier rules only gave the positions of the scales, this rule also gives the numerical values.
