Material: Aluminium  




A WWI ALUMINIUM AND BRASS GUNNERS SLIDE RULE by J. A. Nicholl & Co., London inscribed 'APP OBS OF FIRE SLIDE RULE MK VI' dated 1916, 18 1/2" long complete with original leather case.

As you can see from the photos, there is a broad arrow marked on the slide rule and also its leather case

The rule has scales on both sides and the slide. The scales are in "YARDS", degrees and minutes.  "MINUTES IN APEX ANGLE OR BATTERY RANGE IN YARDS" is also marked on the slide.

"29" is marked on the one end of the rule, both on the slide and the body. I wonder that is the serial number?

The slide rule is made of aluminium with brass bouned ends and brass cursor. The cursor has a locking screw.

Please note the four red dots on one side of the rule are not seeing through the photo paper, these are shallow holes filled with red coulor as gauge points.

The slide measures approx. 18 1/2" (470 mm) long, and the body is 16" ( 406 mm) long, 1 3/8" (36 mm) wide, and 6 mm thick.

I must point out that there are rough looking surface marks which looks to me that possibly cuased by the quality of the mould during the casting? Anyway apart from that the rule is straight and works fine.

The dark brown thick leather case is in very good condition with only few stitches lost on the top of the open end.


Please see photos for details.
