? Your slide rule doesn't have a log scale. :-)
? I don't suppose most people will recognize it anyway.

Well ... actually the "log" scale on a slide rule is linear, as
all the other scales are either logarithmic or more extreme (e.g. the
log-log scales).

So -- based on that, the engraved slide rule has two "log"
scales on the body -- and *no* scales on the slide.

Also -- it is missing a cursor. :-)



Cursor? That's someone who doesn't know how to use a slide rule. ;-)
