K&E Salisbury Products Division Slide Rules Book

This Oughtred Society publication from 2007 is a wonderful, 131 page, soft cover, 8 1/2 x 11 inch volume. It was written by Joe Soper, whose experiences in the plant that made K+E's plastic slide rules are recounted in the book. The book especially features details of the production of the famous Deci-Lon slide rules.

This publication would make a wonderful gift for anyone interested in slide rules and the last days of slide rule production.
