DescriptionSlide rule in box. The green rectangular cardboard box consists of two separate pieces. The box top slides on and off of the box bottom and fits into place over a slightly narrower and protruding portion of the box bottom.
The slide rule is wood painted white with black ink measurement makings on the front, back and one side. Two strips of wood held together with metal straps surround a central sliding strip of wood. A vertical piece of clear plastic on both front and back of the ruler attached at the sides with wood slides horizontally along the ruler. On the ruler is lettering that appears to be Russian.
