I didn't realize that the humble K&E beginners rule had so many variations. I have a few, but never paid much attention to them. Now I will have to see which ones in the article they match up with.
I didn’t know that K&E had an office in Montréal. Lo and behold, I bike past it everyday on my way to work. I now wonder if my 4058W could have been made there. Thanks for the great post, Mike!
That's really interesting! When I was studying in Chicago in the 1980s I would drive by and park a few blocks down from the Dietzgen factory and office building. I must have done this over 150 times. It even has the Dietzgen name in stone above the main door. But I never noticed it and never knew about it until around 2015 or so... I am *sure* I have slide rules that were made there. (Now, it is owned by DePaul University!)
