Thank you all for understanding the merits and mission of the project. I am just completing the Faber-Castell Volume 8, which has 19 Instruction "books" all in English, except for a 2/83 62/82 Novo-Biplex in Spanish, a 1/60  1/87 1/91 1/98 in German and a 57/87 in Portuguese. It should be published to Amazon later on tonight or tomorrow. The other Faber-Castell manuals that didn't make the cut are in a folder marked Faber II.

I'd like to publicly Adilson Alves de Freitas of Lisbon, Portugal (and an ARC member) for the F-C, Nestler and Graphoplex scans (in Swiss, German, Spanish, French and English) in his library that he scanned for the project. I truly wish to represent all cultures and languages in this series of Volumes, otherwise "International" in ISRM would mean  nothing.

I mentioned Gonzalo Martin because he is in the ISRM who's Who gallery as many of you are, and  a past supporter of ISRM. I hope Gonzalo can help me with files for a Graphoplex/French Volume. s'il te plaît? por favor?

By the way, after I publish a book, I have to buy it at full retail from Amazon, just like everyone else to get my own hardcover copy for the bookshelf. No freebies, even for authors. I can get a paperback proof copy at cost but it is has markings on the cover. not sexy.

Ya que Mike cita mi nombre (y no se porqué) también le he contestado que 'OK'  .

Pues si, al menos ARC aparecerá en esos libros, buena publicidad si se llegan a vender... yo sigo preferiendo el trueque.. : edito gratis en 'photocalcul' los manuales que tengo y descargo (gratis) los que otros compañeros de colección editan.


Buena idea la de publicar las presentaciones, ¿como ha que hacer?

Publicados_saludos

Un incanto: complimenti!

Faber-Castell Mathema 2/84 manual page

Amigos, I have attached a a couple of files of before and after images to demonstrate the work that goes into preparing the pages for publication. Each page is processed with considerable time and effort. The Mathema 2/84, for example had dark sections from when it was storage, wrapped around its slide rule. The 1/54 Addiator manual had fragile paper, very brown, and initial scans were speckled. Some small features needed to be restored.

Keep in mind that ISRM is not just a website. It is a repository of all things "slide rule" and is responsible for the protection and organization of its archives which entails costs that a forum does not. As a reminder, ISRM is an IRS 501(c)(3) (A57 - Science and Technology Museums) non-profit corporation through the State of Colorado. Colorado ID Number 20181884948, IRS EIN 83-2486423. and has certain restrictions and benefits that a private collection does not have. All funds received go directly into ISRM's programs. ARC and ISRM websites both perform decimation of information, but beyond that, our missions diverge in scope and purpose.

Please be assured that ISRM is meeting all the necessary requirements for publishing on Amazon. I have been in communication with manufacturers, so they are aware of what I am doing.

For those of you that wish to be part of this project, I would like to get rolling on the Spanish Volume this weekend as the Faber-Castell volume 8 will be published by then. I have a backlog of scanning jobs for donated slide rules that I need to catch up on. Of particular interest are 42 Chinese slide rules that were gifted by a Chinese Nuclear Physicist.

Oh, if anyone has any Nestler slide rule instructions please, please, please send them to me. Juergen Nestler and I would be most appreciative.

Your servant, Michael Konshak, ISRM Curator.

Básicamente exigen (y no suelen comprobarlo) que seas el propietario de los derechos de autor. Pero lo dicho, en el caso particular de manuales de reglas de cálculo, no creo que a estas alturas les importe a los fabricantes que un tercero los compile y publique.

Notar que el precio de los sellos era idéntico para Francia y para sus "colonias".

Lindo artefacto!

De tenerlo, no lo agruparía con mi colección de reglas de cálculo, sino con mi vieja colección de sellos de Martinique.

Postales saludos

¿Quien nos asegura que en un futuro no saldan tropecientos "preservadores históricos" similares?

Nadie. Y es una pena. Ya me gustaría a mi que salieran no tropecientos, si no tropenta veces tropecientos. Aun serían pocos.

Me quito el cráneo Mike !

Sigo buscando reglas "Omaros" ... la última es esta rara de 1933 con los precios de los sellos y demás servicios de La Poste...  ¡que barato era mandar un paquete en aquella época!

De acuerdo con la propuesta de Victory2k.
