Description:
The Pickett N3-ES is a vintage 10-inch, all-metal duplex slide rule manufactured in the United States between 1960 and 1975. Famous for its iconic "Eye-Saver Yellow" aluminum coating to reduce eyestrain, it is one of the most complex and robust rules Pickett ever produced, featuring up to 31 distinct scales for highly advanced power, log, and exponential calculations.

This exact model was famously used by scientists, mathematicians, and astronauts—including the crew of Apollo 13, and is housed in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

Great piece for a personal or museum collection, or gift for the science, math, or history nerd in your family.
