History and Functionality
This machine works just like a straight slide rule. The circular slide introduces different ergonomics and is more compact than a straight rule.
It has two sides:
On the front:
The dial is divided into three zones occupied by the following logarithmic scales:
Starting from the periphery: n: number (about 35cm long)
n²: square
1/n: reciprocals of numbers
The scale of numbers is divided into two parts: one fixed and one mobile.
On the back:
The dial is divided into five zones occupied by the following logarithmic scales:
Starting from the periphery: n: cubes
S: sine
L: logarithms
T: tangents
S and T: sines and tangents for small angle
