Faber Castell 67/54R addiator pen 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 pocket version is based on the Faber Castell 67/54 and is now called the 67/54 R. It comes complete with the pen and the original green sleeve. Very nice set in very good condition with only signs of normal use and age. It measures ca. 16 cm or ca. 6 1/4 inches.
