Comment | This rule was rejected by professors in Danish engineering schools as it required
too much classroom time to teach methods of handling trig functions on the stator.
They preferred slide-based trig functions. As a result, Diwa did not introduce the
710 and produced the 720 Polylog rule instead, which moved the trig scales from the
stator to the slide. |

In conjunction with our 'donors' we assign a rarity rating to each item, based on the system devised by Herman van Herwijnen |
(1929 - 2004), renowned Dutch collector, author, and creator of Herman's Archive, a collection of 5,000 slide rule images on CD. |
• RR = Rare - 1 of 25 collectors has one; it may take a year to find an example in the marketplace. |
• RRR = Very Rare - only a few known to collectors; may be several years before it comes up for sale. |
• RRRR = Extremely Rare - a museum piece; unlikely that an example will come up for sale.
