Throughout the Renaissance, many attempts were made to develop a universal instrument that could be used to perform arithmetical calculation and geometric operations easily. This need was felt especially in the military field, where the technology of firearms called for increasingly precise mathematical knowledge. Those early attempts evolved into the “modern-day” slide rule. With the advent of the calculator, these relics have become collector’s items. This slide rule is in excellent condition and would be a great addition to any collection.
