Links to Slide Rule Collectors
|
|
|
These links are for sites where the main purpose is to display a collection of
slide rules. On some of these sites you may find that an occasional rule is offered
for sale or trade, where this is not the main purpose of the site I have kept them
on this page. You may want to also look at the
Traders page if you
are looking to buy that special rule.
If you have an on-line slide rule site and would like to be listed then please
e-mail me with
the details and I will add you to the list.
