| 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. |

Foxboro Flow And Valve Rule (c1975) ISRM |
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 |

| 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. |
