This may be an unecessary gallery, as there are other pocket slide rules shown in this gallery as "Maker Unknown". However, there are numerous versions stamped with "Foreign", so these will go here. In practice, there were many products that were required themselves to identify that they were not domestically manufactured, in the USA and UK. It could simply be that required marking. Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended [19 U.S.C. § 1304] requires that, unless excepted, all articles of foreign origin,(or their containers) must be marked permanently, legibly and in a conspicuous place, so as to inform an ultimate purchaser in the United States of the English name of the article’s country of origin. |

![]() | The Fuji slide rule company started in
1947-49, maybe as a derivative of Giken, and changed their name into Fuji Keiki Mfg. Co. Ltd., Fuji Keisanjaku and into Fuji Slide Rule Manufacturing Co Ltd.
Fuji manufactured slide rules under their own brand and also rebranded their modele for other distributors. Fuji logos may be found on Fuji, Taisho, Gekin, Dietzgen, Eco-Bra, Jakar, Prentiss, Staedtler and Wolters-Noordhoff.
These may be seen in other ISRM galleries. The Fuji Illustrated Catalog on the left has images and data compiled by Jose G. Fernandez, of Spain. |

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.

Uchida Yoko Co. Generic Mannheim Made in Japan by Uchida Yoko Co. c1970 Front Scale S, K, A [ B, CI, C ] D, L, T Back: Blank 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! " |
