CIRCULAR SLIDE RULES + Datalizer Slide Charts and Wheels
JUST IN! LOTS of NEW, PERFECT Concise/Sama & Etani Data Centers and Circulars.
Circular rules offer greater scale length in a smaller physical package, so that you don't poke the guy at the next desk in the eye with that 20 inch straight rule in your quest for better resolution. Concise circular rules also offer some interesting 'look-up' and conversion features to the basic rule for added utility. Circulars come in plastic and metal construction (plus paper when made as perrygrafs), but not in wood.

Slide Rule Coins, CLICK for bigger PIC! Slide Rule Coins, CLICK for bigger PIC! Slide Rule Coins, CLICK for bigger PIC! Technetium/Pale Horse Designs Slide Rule Coins $29 Each Coin
|
Technetium/Pale Horse Designs 50mm Slide Rule Coins Brand NEW, in presentation packages!. The great creation from Technetium and Pale Horse Designs is now BACK at the SRU. We have made some color changes to improve the visibility and appearance, and had custom presentation cases made for them. They are now in stock for a limited time, and one or both can ship cheaply in a small padded bag. You can see the detailed info on the new design HERE. One coin is blue and nickel plated, one is satin gold and silver finish with a jade accent. There's only 1 run of 40 of each style available, and when they are gone, that's it. It has been almost 2 years since we last had these, and it is very difficult and costly to set up the foundry and tooling for these runs, so don't miss out this time. They are incredibly beautiful to look at and amazing to touch, with a working slide rule on the face (the two outer scales are C and D, the innermost is a Log Log scale, and smith chart on the reverse. These 50mm diameter coins are heavy and thick (5mm), not a flimsy plastic item, but a solid metal good luck piece or pocket fancy you will enjoy for a long time. Originally designed as Geocaching coins by Dutch Geocacher Technetium, they are a truly unique slide rule item. The core is die cast zinc alloy to achieve the high detail, with either gold or silver toned plating, or nickel plating, depending on the design. The inner triangle design is Sierpiski's fractal triangle. You can get a set of both coins, or just one, as you wish. The presentation box has a viewing window, and each coin is surrounded by a die cut foam holder to protect it. These look nice displayed on a desk in our small slide rule stands. Want one Midnight AND one Sunlgiht coin? Get BOTH coins for $55. (3 Scales, Smith Chart) |
