![]() P120 Toyo w/ Bamboo Cursor | Toyo w/ Bamboo Cursor- c1940-1945 Made in Japan - Manufacturer Presumed to be Relay Front Scale A, [ B, CI, C ] D Back Slider: [ S, L, T ] Archive - no longer in collection Someone in Japan, Prior to, or during WWII provided this with a bamboo cursor frame. It was given to a young American business woman, now a grand mother, as a gift by a Japanese visitor, prior to WWII. The company name is in the insert. At first I thought this was a one-of-a-kind, possibly a homemade cursor frame, but another showed up as being in Ed Chamberlain's collection, when he put it on eBay (sold for $100). My conclusion is that due to a shortage of steel the company (Toyo) that handed out these slide rules as a promotional item, made these useful with the bamboo frame. This specimens has the 'equivalents' sheet on the back.

![]() S316 Relay 150 | S316 Relay 150 - c1940-1945 Made in Japan - Pre-1945 Relay - missing cursor Front Scale (extended) 25cm // K, A, [ B, CI, C ] D, L || 10in Back Scale: [ S, S&T, T ] Equivalents
I found this one that looks like the same
company name (see insert) as my P120 above. This tells me that both slide rules must be made by Relay
since the Japanese companies were very brand loyal and the distributor would not have used multiple competing suppliers.
I assume that this one also had a bamboo framed cursor but it failed to
survive the war. |

It may have been bought in early 1970s in Finland and used in college -- or it may have belonged to a relative and then given to my father." |
