Faber Castell disponent 67/22Rb Addiator pen pocket slide rule 1960 Germany

This is a great transitional and unusual Faber Castell slide rule that has a double function. It is a combination of slide rule on one side and an addiator on the other side. The addiator is a predecessor of the basic handheld calculator (as is the abacus) with function that allows for quick addition and subtraction of amounts. The slide rule itself is more the predecessor of the scientific electronic calculator. This standard size version is the disponent (Kaufmann) 1/22 for the trader and the 67/22 in pocket size. It has the R/Rb extension to indicate the Rechner or Addiator. It is made of white plastic with plastic angled cursor. The all metal Additiator is fully working and complete with the pen. The original green sleeve is complete as well with pen pocket. Everything is in very good condition with no flaws and minimal signs of use and age. It measures ca. 16 cm or ca. 6 inches wide.
