This page contains specimens that have slide rules in their design in the form of Jewelry, Cups, Patches, etc. These are all physical specimens that exist today, either in the ISRM collection or from other sources. The Novelties gallery was created to reduce the number of images that were on the Ephemera (such as magazine advertisements) and Photos of People with Slide Rule gallery, which will also be split. ISRM web pages are not mobile friendly, so this is an effort to make navigation on the site easier. The Novelties gallery is a work in progress.
