Notes: "Built into a writing slope this impressive 4-slide and 2-cursor desktop slide rule was designed for use in cotton mills to determine the cost to make cotton of a given warp, weft and weight specification. A removable side plate allowed the slide rule to be used without taking it out of the writing slope. "
