Circular Slide Rules
Drawing slide rule scales around a circle enabled a more compact instrument to be produced.
A circular slide rule with a 3-inch diameter can provide a 10-inch scale. Nevertheless,
circular slide rules were never very popular. There could be problems of parallax in reading
the scales but for their size they could be surprisingly accurate.
A variety of circular slides rules were manufactured by Concise in Japan. These were often
supplied with a firm’s name on for use as promotional give-aways.
