SOLD Fuller cylinder spiral scale slide rule.17" long and consists of a hollow cylinder that can be moved up and down or around an inner cylinder that is attached to a handle. A single spiral logarithmic scale is wound around the outer cylinder. There are two brass indices (see attached photos), a fixed index attached to the handle, and a movable index attached to a brass tube that slides up and down the inner cylinder. Production of the Fuller Slide Rule began in 1879. All of them were produced by the W.F.Stanley Co. of London, England. This rule is of the type 1, with the serial number of 733 which indicates a date of 1894, as set out in a table of known Fuller slide rules published in the "Chronicle of the Early American Industries Association" volume 50, number 3, September, 1997. Wayne E. Feely is the author of the article titled "The Fuller Spiral Scale Slide Rule" in which he prepared and presented that table. Mr. Feely further states that "of the four types of Fuller Slide Rules known, only the Type 1 appears to have been sold by suppliers in the U.S. who obtained the rules from Stanley and simply added their own labels. This Fuller rule has only its Stanley label. The box is mahogany, machine dovetailed, with the word "calculator" stenciled on the top of the box. The rule, the box and the label all are in excellent untouched condition. The rule has browned in some areas, but not badly; it has no physical damages, no scrapes, no significant scratches, no tears, no dents. The box and label are in mint, untouched condition.
