SIC slide rules were manufactured for Scientific Instruments in
Berkeley, California by Japanese manufacturers
Relay/Ricoh and Concise. SIC had custom models which added scale labels to the cursors, a handy, yet costly, technique which
was never duplicated on other brands or by other manufacturers. Note that on slide rules that have the SIC Diamond Logo, the rules have serial numbers
but do not have the pi (π) gauge mark on the A and B scales found on earlier slide rules without logos.
The linear SIC Models numbers are normally a Relay model number with
an extra zero (Relay 102 = SIC 1020). The SINCO logo was used in 1965 Note: Almost all the slide rules shown in this gallery were gifted to the Computer History Museum in Mountainview, California so we are left with virtual images (Ref: Pxxx, Cxx, Sxxx). If you have a physical replacement for the ISRM archives, your gift would be appreciated by all. |

Robert "Bob" Dehn (1941-2000) graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in chemistry. Following his graduation, Bob started work as a pharmaceutical chemist at Stanford Research Institute, which later became SRI International. It was there that he spent his entire professional career. It was also at SRI that he met his wife of 52 years, Fran McGroary. After receiving his MBA from Santa Clara University, Bob moved into marketing and business development for the Life Sciences Division of SRI where he continued until his retirement in 2007..Bob began collecting with his first slide rule while studying at UC Berkeley. During his career he continued to collect from colleagues, antique shows and swaps.
