American Spring of Holly, Inc., Holly, Michigan.

American Spring of Holly was founded by Howard Malcolm Smith (1897-1966) in 1929 after resigning from the Gauranty Trust Company in New York where he worked as a banker after graduating from Princeton in 1919. He was the son of a Brooklyn, N.Y. banker and Howard prepared at Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. In the fall of 1918, he enlisted in the Student Army Training Corps and was honorably discharged after the Armistice. He was awarded the degree of Civil Engineer in June. His original plan was to work in engineering, but he found immediate work in banking because of his father's connections. Banking failures abounded in 1929, so at this point he decided to apply his engineering training to American Spring of Holly, Inc., a small company in which he owned an interest. He moved to Holly, Mich. and took over the management. Earnings changed from red to black, and Howard's sales activities led him to travel in a Beech Bonanza, which he personally flew more than 3,000 hours. In 1958, he sold the business and tried retirement, but found himself doing consulting work for a local subsidiary of Illinois Coil. Before his death, he he established an electronics laboratory in his basement where he spent many happy hours inventing new devices. This collection of slide rules were part of his estate, gifted by the husband of his granddaughter, Patricia (nee Walker) Moody. Her father R.L.(Lloyd) Walker worked at American Spring after WWII.

His personal slide rule. Gifted by Bruce Moody of Fort Mill, South Carolina. Note: This was the slide rule used by Howard M. Smith to design his first spring products. The written markings correspond to round (R) and Square (SQ) profile wire constants for steel (STL) and Bronze (BRZ) in Lengths of Feet (FT R and FT SQ) and Inches (IN R and SQ). There are additional gauge marks added on the CI scale (from left to right). V=887, W=474, V=281 and W=148. We can only assume that these marks V and W refer to Volume and Weight. There may be differences in properties from that time period in the 1930's and to the modern era.

Arlton Workshop, Lennox, South Dakota

Arlton Workshop was a small firm in Lennox, South Dakota, consisting of three brothers (Roland, Stan, Dean and/or Paul), all teachers, which specialized in creative design and manufacture. The initials "SA" on the specimen (see detailon left), which was copyrighted in 1959, most likely means that the slide rule was designed by Stanley (Stan) Arlton (1925-2007) who taught math and physics. His obituary says:" He attended Mitchell Public Schools and studied at several colleges including Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell and Pacific Lutheran College in Tacoma, Wash. He received his undergraduate degree from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., and his masters degree in math from Western Connecticut State University. He had near majors in physics and German. In 1943 he was inducted into the U.S. Army as a high-speed radio operator. Stan had a great interest in mathematics and designed and produced a novel circular slide rule that [supposedly see note below] was flown on the first Apollo moon mission as a computer backup. He always enjoyed solving complex math problems. His first teaching position was at Tripp High School in Tripp, S.D., where he taught math, physics, chemistry and English while also serving one year as the school principal. He directed both church and community choirs (note the musical scale on the slide rule). His last teaching assignment was at Hillcrest Academy where he taught mainly physics and computer science. Here again he enjoyed being assistant director for the community choir. Stan loved travel and sought an overseas teaching assignment that resulted in four years of teaching at the Yamato High School (Yamato Air Force Base) in Tokyo, Japan. He had two sons, David and Paul Arlton (who became aerospace engineers). Note: Quote from a Blogger named Armin: "I knew the man who invented that (referencing a photo of a Pickett 109-ES) slide rule. He taught at my school. His name was Stan Arlton. He was an amazingly clever, warm-hearted and slightly eccentric fellow. One of his slide rules traveled with the Apollo missions."

Original Owner:Ted Baumen (c1933- ) Gifted by Ted Baumen Jr. and Dawn Baumen.of University Park, Florida. Ted Baumen.was an immigrant from Holland who came across the Atlantic in 1953 on the USS United States. He studyied to become an electrical engineer and ultimately worked for a large aerospace and building services company in the US and Canada. Throughout his studies and his career, he used many slide rules for both mathematical calculations and US-Metric conversions. He was part of a team that worked on the electro-mechanical interface for the CF104 Fighter (built in Canada by Canadair under license from Lockheed) which was a key element of the autopilot and auto pitch control systems. When Ted retired, he passed on his slide rules to his son, Ted Jr. a mechanical engineer, who had an interest in the elegance of these analog devices. At that time, mathematical calculations were becoming much easier to do by calculators, however, slide rules for US-Metric conversions remained very helpful (especially, in the absence of an on-line search tool to look up conversion factors). Ted jr. recalls: "I remember my father commenting that the slide rules gave him a more visual sense of how calculations were done and an intuitive sense that the answer was correct. He fond of saying, 'no batteries required'".

Associated Spring Corp. (Wallace Barnes Co.)

Associated Spring Corporation was founded in 1857 by Wallace Barnes (1827 - ?) and is one of only a few companies in the U.S. that have been in the business of making springs for more than 150 years. The Wallace Barnes Company was located in Bristol, Connecticut, and when Wallace left the company in 1893, his son Carlyle Barnes took over, and was later succeeded Carlyle's son, Fuller Forbes Barnes, who took over as general manager of the company, which continued to grow through acquisitions. The company was initially known for making hoop-skirt springs, but in 1859 adapted to the clock industry in the Bristol area at the time, along supplying springs for gun and bicycle manufacturing. In 1933, company president Fuller Barnes was instrumental in starting the Spring Manufacturers Association, which later became known as the Spring Manufacturers Institute (SMI). Throughout its history, several ASC spring design slide rules were made available to mechanical engineers to promote their product lines. Many of these images are duplicated on the Pickett Gallery.and K&E Specialty Gallery

Four years later, he graduated from Penn State University with a Civil Engineering degree, and enlisted in the Navy. Following his tour with the Seabees, he was accepted into a three year training program with the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) in Washington, DC. BPR sent him Mt. Rainier, WA in the summer of 1962, to Vancouver, WA in 1963, and to Wisconsin and Texas in 1964. In Vancouver in April, 1963, Mr. Hazen was assigned the task of preparing to cut and fill a roadbed. He used the Avol-Rule to calculate area and volume, so that the material cut from a hill would just match the area to be filled. He remembers this as a desk job done in preparation for surveying, as it was too early to get out in the field. Following his training period with BPR, he spent his career in the Bureau of Public Roads in Washington, DC, later renamed the Federal Highway Administration, retiring in 1994. Now retired, Philip devotes his time to travel, renovating old houses and to community service.

Charles Bruning Company

Bruning did not make their own slide rules but bought rebranded slide rules from Grafton Plastics, a privatee enterprise owned by Millie Ludwig and her husband, located in Grafton Illinos. Grafton Plastics rebranded the same slide rules for Post, Dietzgen, and Compass. Bruning would also contract toi get promotional advertising the the small slide rules for clients. The company's history begins in lower Manhattan where Charles Bruning started the company in 1897 making blueprints. Only a year later, the company moved to Van Buren and Dearborn in Chicago. Fittingly, they moved around among in several locations in the Printer's Row area, finally settling at 445 Plymouth Court. Branches of the company were opened throughout the country. The company diversified into manufacturing drafting supplies and copy machinery for small to mid-size printing operations. Later, most of its profits would be made manufacturing the paper for these machines. The company is currently owned by Bosch. Bruning had offices in New York, New York; Newark, New Jersey; Boston, Massachusetts; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; St Louis, Missouri; Kansas City, Missouri; Houston, Texas; Los Angeles, California; San Francisco, California; Seattle, Washington; and Birmingham, Alabama. The Pickett catalog on the left shows that Picketts were distributed by Bruning in the 1950's. The entire catalog is available in the ISRM Library.

CENCO - Central Scientific Co. Chicago, Illinos

Full 1912 Catalog M Smithsonian American History Museum. Note Four slide rule models are described in this catalog.

Central Scientific Company was founded in 1900 in downtown Chicago. It was created from of what was left of the Olmstad Scientific Company. Central Scientific manufactured and distributed science teaching equipment for schools, colleges, and universities by catalog mail order. The trademark CENCO was used from 1909 onwards. CENCO dominated the field of selling science education equipment through their mail order catalog. By 1935, the company established itself as one of the leading national suppliers of science equipment. During World War II, part of the manufacturing facility was turned over to the production of war necessities, making bombsights for airplanes and fuses for large bombs. After 1968, the company began having financial difficulties. In 1974, the assets were sold off to competitors. The educational business retained the name Central Scientific Company. In April 1979, Central Scientific's assets and activities were acquired by two businessmen from Buffalo, New York. They sold the business to Sargent-Welch (their main competitor) in 2000.

Fisher Controls, Marshalltown, Iowa

William Fisher 1838-1906 Jasper H. Fisher 1878-1938 Jasper W. Fisher 1914-1990

The Fisher Controls Company, is one of the oldest and largest global designers, manufacturers, and suppliers of control valves and regulators to the chemical, refining, power, and pulp and paper industries. Founded in 1880 by William Fisher (1838-1906), William moved to the US from England when he was 14, settling in Iowa. His first job was in a small engine shop, where he became well-versed in steam power. Next, he helped to install new water facilities in three Iowa cities and made a name for himself. As a raging fire in Marshalltown, Iowa, threatened to engulf the city, William and a few others spent hours throttling the city’s steam-driven pumps by hand, to provide steady and constanst water pressure. This fire inspired him to create a control device to control pumps and maintain them at constant pressure. After months of experimentation, Fisher built the Fisher Type 1 constant pressure pump governor in 1880. Fisher Governor Company was incorporated in 1888 . By 1905, company sales had reached $44,000; by 1907, his invention was in power plants throughout the entire United States, Canada, and Great Britain. And the two of them oversaw some of Fisher’s most significant advancements and growth. Fisher Governor Company enjoyed substantial profits from the development of steel, petroleum, power, and gas in the 1920’s industrial boom. Their valves being indispensable in each of the burgeoning industries. With the onset of World War 1, demand for Fisher’s products in various industries rose dramatically, particularly in the petroleum industry. As a result, the Company quickly grew from a shop of nine machinists and five office employees to over 60 workers. In 1938 then VP, Jasper Henry Fisher (1878-1938), son of William, died. His wife, Florence Edna Baughman Fisher (1879-1960) served as President for 10 years. Jasper’s son, Jasper “Bill” Fisher, (1914-1990) became VP, and his wife, Dorothy Elizabeth Meyer Fisher (1914-1998), like Jasper’s mother before her, took over as President. Fisher entered into a licensing agreement with Elliott Automation of the UK in 1950, the two companies would manufacture Fisher valves and controllers jointly. It was about this time that the company contracted with Pickett to make custom slide rules. Other makers soon followed in the UK and Germany with their own design variations. In 1955, Fisher expanded production into Canada, opening a factory in Ontario to meet the demands of the burgeoning oil and natural gas industries. Fisher’s emphasis on new products built on further technological advancement continued throughout the 1960s, and they entered into a new licensing agreement to manufacture in Japan. The following year, 1965, Fisher opened a factory in Mexico City.

Variable Scale: Evolution

Brochures

H. Joseph Gerber - (1924-1996) United States. Inventor/businessman. Gerber immigrated to Hartford, Conn., from Austria in 1940, and completed high school in two years while working full time. 1947 graduate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Gerber's first patented invention was the Gerber Variable Scale, which he conceived in 1945 while he was a college student. He built the product in his garage. Leaving his job a few years after graduating, he drove around America for months at a time to visit engineering departments of military and industrial organizations. He sold his existing products by day, and invented new ones at night. It was the first product to launch the Gerber Scientific Instrument Co. Gerber, who held nearly 650 patents, was awarded the National Medal of Technology in 1994, given to him by U.S. President Bill Clinton. Several of his inventions are on display at the Smithsonian Institution. The story of his invention The Inventor's Dilemma: The Remarkable Life of H. Joseph Gerber was written by his son, David J. Gerber. (Yale University Press, 2015)

Gerber Scientific_Instruments Variable Scale Model TP007200B ISRM 24.07.04.44

Gerber Scientific_Instruments Variable Scale - Type TP007200B Made in USA - Gerber Scientific Instrument Company Scales (47 cm): RI, RF Gift of Debbie Dilatush, Tom Dilatuysh Collection, Paradise, Utah. Notes: The heart of the Variable Scale is a high precision triangular spring whose coils act as calibrating lines. When extended, all coils are equally spaced. A second spring carries numerical markings for each 10th coil of the triangular spring. Easy to use, the Variable Scale makes computations directly -- without conversion -- on graphs, curves and recordings. Expandable for any ratio, any setting, it is used on graphical work where reading, plotting and interpolating are required. The use extends the Variable Scale's springs by sliding a hairline over three fixed, engraved scales: 1) an Inch scale that indicates the number of inches extended; 2) a Reciprocal scale that identifies the number of coils per inch; and 3) a Logarithmic scale that indicates the logarithm of the extension. Each scale, in combination with the spring, solves a group of common problems. by Rod Lovette

Graham Sr. who is widely known as one of the steel industry's most successful and innovative executives. A former draftsman and civil engineer, he was named president of Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. in 1974. In 10 years, he took the company through a merger with Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., and then an acquisition of Crucible Steel's Midland plant. He departed J&L in 1983 to restructure the United States Steel Corporation, where he served as president of the U. S. Steel Group of USX Corp. until 1991. Over that period, finished products went from 8 man-hours per ton down to 4 man-hours per ton, contributing to a dramatic swing in profitability for the company. Graham had similar results as chairman and CEO of Washington Steel Co. (1991-1992). From 1992 to 1994, Graham Sr. was president and CEO of Armco Steel Co. L.P., predecessor of AK Steel. He was the founder and served as chairman and chief executive officer of AK Steel Corp. (1994-1995), and remained as chairman until his retirement in 1997. After his arrival at Armco Steel in 1992, the company went from being the least profitable U.S. steel company to earning the most profit per ton, and producing steel with the fewest man-hours per ton, of any of its major competitors over the following five years. He is now with TC Graham Associates as a founding member.Mr. Graham is a Korean war veteran.

Jones Metabolism Equipment Co., Chicago, Ill.

Jones Metabolism Equipment Co was founded in 1919 by Horry Jones, M.D, Ph.D., It was inspired by a friendly wager with a colleague while at a scientific conference, Horry Jones, M.D, Ph.D. He successfully developed the "Metabolimeter", the first waterless Basal Metabolism Test instrument. This significant development led to the establishment the Jones Metabolism Instrument Company in Chicago, Illinois and ultimately the widespread availability of metabolic testing. The address at 315 Honore Steet was listed in the 1959 Chicago newspaer ad. The slide rule was used, along with a paper chart to determine the metabolic values. In 1960, William C. Jones, recognizing the need for improvement in current spirometer design to achieve widespread access to patient testing, he followed in his father's footsteps,developing the :Pulmonor", the first waterless spirometer, marking the beginning of the Jones Medical Instrument Company.

Culbertson Oceanographic Slide Rule Made in USA by KAHLSICO, Kahl Scientific Intrument Corp, El Cajon, CA (1955) The 8-3/8 inch diameter slide rule is designed to facilitate computation of the three basic quantities of physical oceanography, temperature, depth, and salinity. Scale Symbols and definitions: C = correction for thermal expansion of a protected thermometer system subsequent to reversal Vo = a constant of the individual thermometer, representing in degrees the volume of mercury below the 0° mark when the thermometer is in the reversed position at 0° Centigrade T' = reading of the reversing thermometer, either protected or unprotected t = reading of the auxiliary thermometer which accompanies each reversing thermometer, (that is, temperature at which reversing thermometer is read) K = reciprocal coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass of which the thermometer is made; K is given on the certificate which accompanies each thermometer Cu = correction for thermal expansion of an unprotected thermometer system subsequent to reversal Tw = water temperature in situ, the corrected reading of a protected reversing thermometer C' = value found as an intermediate step in the process of correcting an unprotected thermometer D = depth at which the thermometers reversed Tu = corrected reading of an unprotected reversing thermometer, a function of both temperature and pressure ρm = mean density of the water column above the level of reversal Q = pressure coefficient of the individual unprotected thermometer, expressed in degrees Centigrade increase in the reading per 0.1 kg/cm2 increase in pressure Wire length = length of wire from sea surface to water bottle Wire angle = angle which the Wire makes with the vertical at the ship Scan provided by the Steve Seale's collection

The following text is from the PREFACE to the Electronic Kel-Co calculator Manual (1MB PDF) Read the manual to understand the math behind the slide rules and calculator: The Kel-Co Class Computer is based upon the same principles as the Kel-Co Class Calculator (slide rule). The calculator, first marketed in 1969, became the most widely used handicapping aid in North America, and was considered by most unbiased experts as the most successful ever developed. The electronic computer, by its very nature, is much easier to use, more accurate, and much faster than the slide rule. The unit has two modes of operation: the "computer mode" which contains the pre-programmed formulas for the Kef-Co class ratings, and a "calculator mode" which is a standard calculator. Regular Kel-Co users will note that some of this manual has been reproduced directly from the third edition of the Kel-Co Class Calculator (Sept. 1971) and from 1979 printing. Some sections are completely new and others have been partially rewritten. To you new Kel-Co users, welcome to the club! Please take the time to understand, absorb, and then apply the principles in this manual. Success at the races is within your grasp, depending only on you! Good Luck!

Gilbert Small (1885-1963) invented and manufactured The Small Calculator in 1917. Jonathan Small, his Grandson, writes: "The only tidbit I know about the Pocket Calculator is that my grandmother mentions in her diaries from the 1920s a number of occasions when she and my grandfather would spend an evening assembling calculators to fill orders. Gilbert Small was employed by an engineering firm by the name of Worcester with offices in Waltham and Boston." (Continued on right)

When determining if a thin film sheet plastic slide rule is made by Graphic Calculator, Gerson, Parisian Novelty, Whitehead-Hoag (W&H), etc, look for the cursor stop that prevents the cursor from falling off. This was a W&H feature. However the C-Thru No. 27 and 88 also had this feature. W&H predates C-Thru, so thru may have purchased the W&H toolinjg from Bastion Bros.
