W & G Model 432 - "Dualface" Comprehensive - Notes



  1. W & G made slide rules in Australia from about the start of WWII through to the 1960's and possibly early 1970's.
  2. This model rule was a basic rule with some additional scales/guage points for electrical problems.
  3. Ron Manley has another example of this rule with illustrations of usage of some of the specialist electrical scales.
