Determining rarity
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.
