For all of you wanting to put some data behind that "ISTR", here is an online
collection of ~500 slide rules, including such gems as slide rules with an
adding machine on the back! Well, an "Addiator", adding machine where you move
rods in slots with a pin...

My slide rule is the Aristo Scholar 0903 version A according to that
site, in a grey cardboard case. The reverse side is blank except for
English and metric rulers.
