Keuffel and Esser, Standard Scales |
|
This gallery displays K&E slide rules with standard general-purpose mathematical scales.
See K&E Specialty Slide Rule gallery for slide rules with special scales
for specific industries and applications. Also see Rarities Slide Rule gallery for older or rare K&E's not shown in this gallery.
Keuffel & Esser Co., Hoboken, New York, sold and
manufactured slide rules, drawing instruments and other technical supplies.
Established in 1884, sold rules from 1886, began manufacturing their own rules
in 1891 and continued until 1976. Over the course of their history Keuffel &
Esser became the largest manufacturer of slide rules in the US.
In 1967, Keuffel & Esser, commissioned a study of the future. The report predicted that, by the year 2067,
Americans would live in domed cities (possibly influenced by Issac Asimov's robot novel Caves of Steel)
and watch three-dimensional television. Unfortunately for the company, the report failed to predict that
slide rules would be obsolete in less than ten years, replaced by the pocket calculator. By 1976, Keuffel &
Esser mothballed its slide rule manufacturing equipment and sent it to the Smithsonian Institution. They
transitioned into CAD equipment in the 1980's. This gallery begins with the long 20" slide rules, then continues by model number, sorted by date of manufacturer. |

| Carolyn (randall) Diviacchi writes: "This slide rule belonged to my father, Edwin Benjamin Randall, Jr. who worked At the National Bureau of Standards, Washington D.C., and then in Gaithersburg, MD. He was trained in organic chemistry at Harvard, '46. He was African American raised in Cambridge, MA by his parents and an only child. He used the slide rules regularly and taught me as well as my sisters how to do simpler calculations with a slide rule. At the National Bureau he worked on setting standards for quality for various government interests including rubber and paper. He once explained to me that he was working on the standards for tire rubber which was I think at the time they were beginning to introduce reinforcing rubber or radial tires. He selected tested and selected papers to be purchased by the U.S. government, which was of course an enormous consumer." | K&E N4053-5 20 inch Polyphase Mannhiem - S/N 771644 Made in U.S.A.

Wallace Kane, born in Wisconsin (1930), used this slide rule starting with his under graduate studies at Lawrence College in Appelton, Wisconsin. After graduation he enlisted in the Air Force with duties as a musician, stationed at Keflavik, Iceland. He again pulled out his slide rule to obtain his masters degree in physics from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI. After graduation he worked at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore (now LLNL) where he married fellow physicist Ruth Mary Farwell Kilby (later: Moira Kane) (1921-2007) (Ruth also has a slide rule on display at ISRM). The couple relocated to the Puget Sound area in 1973 to work as a physicist for the Navy at Keyport, Washington for the next 33 years where he retired at age 75. | K&E 4081-5 Log Log Duplex DeciTrig - S/N 630198 Made in U.S.A.

The Atanasoff-Berry Computer was the world's first electronic digital computer which was built by John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry at Iowa State University during 1937-42. It incorporated several major innovations in computing including the use of binary arithmetic, regenerative memory, parallel processing, and separation of memory and computing functions. On October 19, 1973, US Federal Judge Earl R. Larson signed his decision following a lengthy court trial which declared the ENIAC patent of Mauchly and Eckert invalid and named Atanasoff the inventor of the electronic digital computer - the Atanasoff-Berry Computer or the ABC. This scan of one of his three slide rules at ISRM were provided by the Iowa State University Library, Atanasoff Archives. |

Founder of Estes Industries who made the first safe black powder rocket motors in 1958 used by members of the newly formed National Association of Rocketry (NAR) . Vern purchased this slide rule in downtown Denver, Colorado in 1948 when he was in his 3rd year at Westminster Union High School. He used it for advanced math classes in high school, then later at Central College in McPherson, Kansas. He later founded Estes Industries which began his career in model rocketry. He says "my trusty slide rule was an indispensible companion". Based on his own experiences, he offered slide rules (see the Pickett 120) in his sales literature (circa 1964) to help young rocketeers (of which the curator of ISRM was one). Vern engraved his name on the slide rule so it would not get mixed up with his brother Earl Estes' slide rule, who bought his at the same time and later used it in his engineering career at Hughes Aircraft. |

Front Scale K, A [ S, T, CI ] D, L Back Scale DF [ CF, CIF, C ] D This slide rule belonged to Linus Carl Pauling [1901-1994], one of the most influential chemists in history as well as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. One of only 4 individuals ever to have won solo Nobel Prizes in separate and unrelated fields - for chemistry in 1954, and the Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless campaign against atmospheric nuclear bomb testing in 1962. He found this slide rule when he was 17 while still in high school. When the rightful owner was not found, he carried this with him to Oregon State College and used it until he graduated. See his diary page on the left, dated September 23, 1917. The cursor must have been replaced later as that type was not available until 1935.

Leroy Gordon Cooper, Jr. (1927-2004), also known as Gordon Cooper, was an American aeronautical engineer, test pilot and one of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury, the first manned space program of the United States. Cooper piloted the longest and final Mercury spaceflight in 1963. The B&W NASA photo is from May 16, 1963, just after the successful recovery of the Mercury Faith-7 mission. He was the first American to sleep in space during that 34-hour mission and was the last American to be launched alone to conduct an entirely solo orbital mission. In 1965, Cooper flew as command pilot of Gemini 5.
