Notes: "Third and last iteration of the design but the significance of the light-green background on this example is unknown. With a spiral long-scale of 1067 cm the Atlas calculator was, at the time, probably the most modestly priced high-precision slide rule on the market. It was in the same league as the Fuller, Thacher and the Ross precision slide rules."
