Keuffel & Esser 4081-3 (2) - Notes



  1. I believe that this rule probably dates from roughly 1947, the serial number is too early for 1949 and the scale layout was changed in 1949. For K&E serial number dating use the link here to Ed Chamberlain's reference set of dating curves.
  2. This model differs only slightly from the 4080 series in that this model has the trigonometrical scales divided in degrees and decimals of a degree, whereas the 4080 series has these scales divided to represent degrees and minutes.
