You will note that many United States Companies OEM'd some of their slide rule models from other countries. This is not a practice employed by the other countries themselves (i.e. buying from the USA and put their name on them). It was probably less from national pride as it was a method of the United States in helping to rebuild European and Japanese economies after WWII and in some cases, like Post and Dietzgen, to renew their relationships as it was before the war.

Bill-Mar Speciality Co., Ohio

A widely diversified company that produced specialty slide rules. The only two styles that are known are concrete volume calculators, but as there are models #24 (made in Japan) and #89 (made in Hong Kong), shown in the gallery, there must be other varieties as well.

C-Thru Ruler Company

The C-Thru Ruler Company was founded in 1939 in Bloomfield, Connecticut and specialized in transparent plastic rulers and templates.
They designed a line of inexpensive (value-priced) folded sheet (film) printed plastic slide rules.
Their market continues in the modern era and have products in stores like Hobby Lobby and Michaels. Generic slide rules made by the Graphic Calculator Co, are very similar to the C-Thru designs and constructions.

Bruce was given his first slide rule when he was in high school while his father, William M. Day, was stationed at Vandenburg AFB. Bruce later became a career military officer who flew B-52 missions in Vietnam and later C130s as a member of the reserves, retiring as a Lt. Col. Bruce obtained this slide rule after retiring from the Military. His civilian life was spent as a Patent and Trademark Attorny in Kansas City, where he still resides.

Foxboro

The Foxboro Comapany, Foxboro, Massachussettes. USA, developed a series of slide rules to assist gas engineers in sizing control valves and in performing calculations relating to orifice meters. These devices were not widely used in gas distribution except for the design of those city gate stations using orifice meter runs to measure the flow of gas. Ref: natgasedu.com

Foxboro Flow And Valve Rule
Made in USA - This is constructed much like a slide chart, but with a cursor like a slide rule.
Front Scale
Back Scale
Sizing control valves usually involved solving for the valve's Cv based on flow rate, flowing temperature, specific gravity, and upstream and downstream pressures. The most common orifice meter calculation involved solving for the "beta ratio" or "beta" (the ratio between the diameter of the orifice and the inside diameter of the meter run pipe, or "d/D") given the maximum flow, flowing temperature, specific gravity of the gas, static pressure and line size of the run.
Given the small size of the slide rules, these devices were intended to be more portable than precise. If more accurate answers were required, the user was referred to the companion book "Principles and Practice of Flow Meter Engineering" by L. K. Spink.
The slide rule above shows sides for both English (red or maroon) and Metric (blue) units. Donated By Carlee Heit, Houston Texas, in Memory of her husband Ray Heit

Graphic Calculator Company

The Graphic Calculator Company was founded in 1940 in Chicago, Illinois and later in 234 James Street, Barrington IL, (847) 381-4480. They made custom slide charts as well as low cost give-away promotional slide rules (very similar to C-Thru, but with a nicer cursor). Their website was slide-charts.com, but they do not seem to be in business as of 2012.

In the MIT Museum, an internal letter dated January 20th, 1943 and signed A.W. Keuffel, the letter reads: "Herewith a Slide Rule known as a Vest Pocket Slide Rule made by Guedon, Camden, New Jersey. I do not think they will have much success selling this rule, because of the inherent disadvantages this metal rules has over our regular Pocket Slide Rule. Nevertheless, at the wholesale price of $.50. I do not see how they are able to make this article. After you have examined it, turn it over to Mr. Schneider for filing with the samples."
Another of these was donated by David Hecht, Alexandria, VA and ISRM, in turn,gifted this to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. upon request.

Slide Rule and Scale Engineering, CO. (1930-1950)
Laporte, Indiana, New Carlisle, Indiana and Mt. Olive, Illinois

Slide Rule & Scale Engineering CO. Inc - A US slide rule manufacturer was founded by George L. Lockhart in Laporte, Indiana in 1930, and later New Carlisle, Indiana. SR&SE made custom slide wood slide rules, such as the Concrete Quantity Calculator, as well as a standard Mannheim with A-B-C-D-K & L scales. Rules were manufactured using magnolia wood, finished white with an Ethyl-Cellulose base, then printed. A transparent lacquer coating was then applied to protect the printing. In 1945 a facility was built in Mt. Olive, Illinois. On February 14, 1947 the biggest fire in Mt. Olive history destroyed part of the factory. Production resumed in remaining buildings. On April 14, 1950 the company was declared bankrupt. Nicholas Muschong, a Vice president of Acu-rule, filed to do business in Illinois, and may have acquired the assets and copyrights. Similar in design and construction to Lawrence Engineering Services and Festus (Later Acu-Rule) Manufacturing. Other calculator models advertised in a 1940 flyer were Concrete Block and Mortar, Brick and Hollow Tile, Lumber, and Galvanized Sheet Steel Weight.
