Post Versalog 1460: Also 1461 Pocket Version The Post Versalog 1460 was one of the most popular slide rules among eningeers and engineering students in the U.S. for many years. The maroon cased rule was often seen hanging from college students' belts. The rule came in basically two versions, one with an ST scale and a later one with an SRT scale in its place. The scales of the ST version are shown below. I have several used, but very useable Post Versalogs. If you are interested, please let me know, using the Questions and Wants button at the top of the screen. I also sometimes have the pocket version of the rule, the 1461. And manuals are available. If you are interested, please ask.
Scales: LL0, LL/0, K, DF [CF, CIF, CI, C] D, R1, R2, L
