Slide rules were used extensively in many industries prior to the advent of portable handheld electronic calculating devices. Slide rules provided quick and accurate calculations for sophisticated mathematical problems.
This object was used by printers to calculate the size and weight of stock needed for particular jobs in relation to the number of words per page and the spacing and font size. This process was called cast off – the estimate of the extent of a book; the number of pages required to photograph a text in a particular typeface and point size, done by counting the characters and spaces
This slide rule was made by Faber-Castell. A.W Faber were a German company who started making slide rules in 1882, Celluloid covered stilted rules appeared after 1897. The company changed to Faber-Castell in 1906 and continued production of slide rules until 1976.
