1908 Giant Cylindrical Slide Rule comprising two wheels with scales on the outside edge.
Each can rotate separately from the other, with a foot operated brake to lock the wheels
while transfering calculations. The diameter looks to be about 4 feet which gives a scale length of 150 inches,or 15 times the length of a standard slide rule.

HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- George Gregory, current 746th Test Squadron Operations Flight chief, works on a calculation using a slide rule to provide instrumentation support for a rocket sled project in 1962, at his office at the High Speed Test Track. Mr. Gregory worked at Holloman's test track for the first eight of his 50 years with the 46th Test Group. While working at the test track, one of Mr. Gregory's first assignments was to provide instrumentation support for the evaluation of the Atlas Missile's inertial navigation system. Complete story

Martin Luther Mosher (1882-1982) with his Cylindrical Slide Rule built into the side of his Desk. It was based on two adjacent wood front wagon wheels that were typically 42 inches in diameter, with a circumference that is the equivalent of a 264 inch (22ft) linear slide rule. It appears to hold only C and D scales with handrawn divisions of the same number as a standard slide rule so any additional significant figures would have to be extrapolated past3 or 4.

(con't) After marrying and moving to the United States, however, anti-nepotism rules made it very difficult for her to receive official positions or, even when she did, fair compensation. Eventually she rediscovered nuclear 'magic numbers' and then developed a theoretical justification for them. Rather than see another physicist who independently developed the same theory as a rival, she collaborated with him on articulating the theory, leading them to sharing a Nobel Prize in physics.
