Toyo w/ Bamboo Cursor- c1940-1945
Made in Japan - Manufacturer Presumed to be Relay

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.


Mika (Mickey) Shingo in Aichi, Japan translates the Japanese characters  as:  "Toyo Tokusen-Kogyo Kabusiki-Kaisha Seizou" which means, "Produced by Toyo Specialized Business Development Co., Inc." "Specialized Business Development" implies that this company's business was related to Japanese government (before 1945).

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.

Ville says that this slide rule's history is rather ambiguous. "My father was about to throw it away some years ago, and I salvaged it instead. 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."

UCHIDA YOKO CO., LTD

Uchida Yoko was formed in 1917 and in 1925 the company entered into a domestic (Japan) sales contract to market the Hemmi Bamboo Slide Rule which later becomes its flagship product. The slide rule was an indispensable tool for engineers until the electronic calculator was developed. Sales of this product lay the foundation for later becoming a leading company in the educational market.
During the 1946-1962 Reconstruction Phase, the company utilized the distributor network established for its flagship product, the slide rule. Uchida Yoko enters the school market by marketing science materials for the classroom.
Several European brands, Kent, Royal, Technical Sales, Teknor, and even Nestler, to name a few, contracted with Uchida Yoko to make rebranded slide rules, but the ventures were short-lived with the rapid introduction of the electronic slide rule calculator.

Gifted by Norma Tanner of Libertyville, Illinois
Norma has been a participant of the ISRM Slide Rule Loaner Program. In addition, she had her own collection that she loaned out to students. This one is part of the collection sent to ISRM. Norma writes: "After teaching math and/or science for 24 years, I am now enjoying retired life. Having been educated at MIchigan State University during a time when using a slide rule was the only technology available for advanced calculations, I decided to create a unit of study for my students that would introduce them to the slide rule. My goals were for students to strengthen their ability to estimate and use scientific notation, as well as to discover the historic significance of the slide rule. While it was hard for them to put aside their electronic calculators, they were fascinated, engaged, and thrilled when they could multiply 2 x 3 and actually get 6 instead of 5.9. In the end my students were happy to be reunited with their calculators, but had a new appreciation for the value of estimating, scientific notation, and accuracy in measurement. Goals met! "
