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.

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.
Mosher's bio and papers are listed at Iowa State Archives
