Relay, Ricoh, San-ai group
Includes Exported and Re-Branded U.S. Models

Relay slide rules were manufactured in post-war Japan, originally branded NIKKEI, by Nippon (Japan) Slide Rule Company which was founded c1950. The company then became San-Ai Kekki Ltd. exporting slide rules to the USA as Relay Industrial Company. In April of 1963, the San-ai Group joined with Riken Optical Co. which was founded by Kiyoshi Ichimura in 1938 as Riken Kankoshi Co., Ltd which manufactured sensitized paper. This was later to become Ricoh Ltd, a Japanese conglomerate of companies. Ricoh supplied Ricoh brand slide rules to the United States (Ricoh Industries, USA) and to European (Ricoh Europe SA in Switzerland) markets and re-branded slide rules to other companies such as: Alvin, Charvoz-Roos, Compass, Dietzgen, Eagle, Engineers, Jason, Lafayette, Lietz, Tobe, Lutz, Fuji, Micronta, Omega, Paleo, Pickett (the B1 only), Relay, Ricoh, Sans & Streiffe, SIC (Scientific Instruments Co), Skyline, SELSI, Staedtler-Mars, J.C.Penny, and Wallace & Wallace.

David bought this slide rule when he was a Drafting apprentice at General Electric, Schenectady NY (1971). Already well used, it was purchased for $5 from a retiring engineer that helped design Large Steam Turbine Generators. It helped get him through his BSME night courses. David is now the Engineering & Technical Services Supervisor at Gemological Institute of America (GIA)

See the Lafayette F341 above. As it turns out we were both correct and Lafayette (or Ricoh) changed the scales set and ket the model number. Ed donated it to ISRM for others to enjoy.

Ruth Moira Kane (1950) with daughter Anne Kilby

Ruth was born in Seattle Washington, a child of academic tutors. The family moved to be part of the University of Denver. She acquired her first slide rule in high school and used it in physics while working as an assistant to Dr. Recht on the DU observatory. She went to UC Berkely, received her Masters and worked on her PhD. She was hired to work at the defense Laboratory at Livermore where she met her second husband, Wallace E. Kane (see the K&E gallery for his slide rule). After 1971 she did scientific editing and translated German articles. The couple relocated to the Puget Sound area in 1973 and Ruth became a public organizer to protect the local forests from over-development. She was an active musician, like her husband.
