Notes: "First described by Seth Partridge in 1661, the sliding Gunter gets its name from having two lines of logarithmically spaced numbers (Gunter’s lines) that slide next to each other, as opposed to a Gunter’s scale which has a single Gunter’s line which requires the user to use chart dividers or compasses."
