Hemmi "Sun" Type 98 Maneuvering Slide Rule
Made in Japan by "SUN"
Background: "Type 98" denotes that it was created in AD1938 (Koki or Jimmu Era 2598), which is 1938 in western calendars.
The type 98 Movement rule, is a polar coordinate measuring system and was designed to calculate tracking and range data between two moving ships (or objects) to, possibly, provide input to the Type 98 Hoiban and Shagekiban Low Angle Fire Control computer which was specially designed for the Yamato class of battleships (the Yamato and Murushi). It could also have been used as the primary calculator for the smaller guns that were not connected the the electromechanical computers on the main battery of guns. This slide rule could also have been used for Ship-to-Shore or Shore-to-Ship bombardement as well. Another feature of this slide rule is that the Maneuvering Board, with its rotating dial on the slide, can be used to determine course corrections and wind drift. Handy if the battleship Yamato or an aircraft carrier, is to launch an aircraft, it will calculate the best heading into the wind. Submarines, would also use a similar device to calculate intercept vectors. The design of this slide rule mimics the maneuvering board/tables of the Allies, designed in 1920, and is still in use today. The center of the dial is 'My' or 'Own' ship.
Scales and markings translated by Jiro Higuchi
Front Scale: Relative Coarse Angle // Speed of My Ship [ Speed of Standard Ship, Distance (Logarithmic Scale) nautical mile/Meters, ] Velocity \\ Velocity Ratio
Back Slide: Time Board, Distance by reading Hour/Nautical Mile or Minutes/Meters
Well: Velocity Ratio =>1, Angle of course alteration, Velocity Ratio =<1
Case: Naugahyde with military division "Air Armament 9/90"

On Left: Another of these slide rules was discovered in a bunker, located under a mountain behind the old Taura pyrotechnic factory, which manufactered torpedos during WWII, and stored them within. The buildings are currently part of the Maritime Self-Defense Force Yokosuka Zosamu depot and Akebono Machinery Co., Ltd. The bunker with its network of tunnels is not open to the public.

Original owner C.W. Sewell. ( b? - c1978) Engine and gearbox/transmission designer for Bentley and Lagonda before and after WWII.
Archive - Photo provided by Scott Pattinson, grandson of owner.
Scott Pattinson writes; "CW Sewell was my maternal grandfather. He worked at Lagonda / Bentley motors. He was Bentley's chief designer, although W O Bentley claimed to hold that position, Bentley trained as a locomotive engineer and gave broad brush strokes to his team in reality. C.W. Sewell was also known as Rex Sewell. C.W. Sewell was part of the team that brought their cars to the Le Mans 24 hour race - one of the "Bentley Boys". During WW2 he worked for the government designing military vehicles, notably a jeep type amphibious vehicle that could be dropped by parachute and had some land mine resilience.
He has also been referred to as the gearbox (transmission for US folks) wizard at Bentley.
In a weird twist to my heritage, my paternal grandfather's company built the Brooklands race track on which Bentley cars and others competed. There was criticism of the track to be poor quality, however despite what you may read about that, it was built to the spec asked for and laying asphalt on banked surfaces was not a thing back then.
CW Sewell died of prostate cancer when I was about 14 so about 1978. Tough for me, there are so many things I wished to have talked to him about."
Proof of provenance: The Bentley vs Bentley case which states: "The 21/2-litre Lagonda was designed by C W Sewell, with S Ivernee, who were part of W O Bentley's team."

Sun Hemmi "Byoutou" 苗頭 (Gunnery) 1944
ISRM 10.09.13.01
The following information is from Atsushi Tomozawa: The name "Byou-tou" comes from two Chinese characters "byou" 苗 and "tou" 頭 on a box containing a specimen of this rule in the Hemmi Offices in Tokyo. The first character translates to sprout, bud or shoot of a young plant; the second means "head." "Shooting Heading" is not an impossible translation. "Development History of the Slide Rule" by Jihei Miyazaki states that the Byoutou rule was introduced in 1944 but does not mention what function the rule served. Another book, "History of the Slide Rule," written for the Royal Navy Military Schools in 1944 explains how to use the rule to calculate a correction angle for firing at moving ships; the corrected angle is called "corrected byoutou" or deflection Gunnery
Notes from the curator, who used to work for Dr. Chen in 1985: "I asked Dr. Di Chen, a renowned Physicist in Lasers and Optics, to comment (on right) on this slide rule that he owned since he was in college. He stated he used it for electrical engineering classes, which conflicts with the speculations described on the left column. The back label instructions reference scales C, D and CI, but the scales on this rules are numbered sequentially 1 through 18. Dr. Chen did sctratch in scales labels on the slide over 60 years agao: (16)='D', (17)='K', (18)='A' and on the stock, (8)='B". The left index of A/B or (18)/(8) starts at 0.5 rather than 1. A very puzzling arrangement." Mike.

Sun Hemmi "Byoutou" 苗頭 (Gunnery) 1944
Made in Japan - 20 scales - used in electrical engineering classes in Taiwan.
Note: 250 x 34 x 11 mm. (Same body as Hemmi 50W.)
Front Scale:
V, 10cm // 1, 12, 2, 11 [ 3, 12, 4, 15, 5, 14, 6, 13 ] 7, 8 || 9, 10
Back Slide (Reversible): [ 16, 17, 18 ]
Back: There is a plastic table on the back with settings for the C and D scales and trigonometry formulas; none of which seems to relate to this slide rule.
Cursor (Reversible): to align hairlines to the top and bottom edge scales.
Owned and donated by Dr. Di Chen, Mound, Minnisota
Dr. Di Chen bought this slide rule in 1950 while in his second year at the
EE department of the National Taiwan University in Taipei, Taiwan.
Dr. Di Chen has over 45 years of optical data storage experience. He received his Ph.D.
in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, and taught and did research at the
University of Minnesota. He joined the Honeywell Research Center where he did pioneering
research in magneto-optic recording and laser beam control. He and Nelson Yew founded Optotech Inc. in 1984,
and introduced the world's first high density WORM drive and media to the market. He
has published over 100 papers, presentations, and reports on optical data storage. Di
is currently the President of Chen and Associates, a consulting company in the field of
optical data storage.
Di Chen writes: "I bought this slide rule at a stationary store in Taiwan which was frequented by college students. So it is not likely that this slide rule is aimed for military purposes. On the other hand, there are some military schools in Taipei so I really cannot rule out that this product may be useful for them.
"The most common use of this slide rule is for mulitiplication and division, as well as some trigonometric functions. I don't recall using any other functions such as scale v. As I vaguely recall, reversing the sliding center bar expands the scale, and the bottom edge is probably related to angles for trigonometric funtions.
"As the main scale for the basic functions are simply logarithmatic, other scales may be log log, for calculation of powers. I also recall that the cursor must be reversed for some functions, but I do not remember which ones.
It have been over sixty years ago since I last touch this instrument, so I really cannot be sure of the operations and functions that it provided. Sorry that I cannot be of more help."

Arnold Davidson Straussman (c1908-1983) was an electrical engineer who loved the elegance of math, as well as science and the arts. After graduating from Pratt Institute, NY in 1929, he was employed by the Jersey Central Power and Light Company until 1940. The majority of his career was spent with Ebasco Services headquartered in NY. Ebasco assigned him to a number of domestic and overseas projects. He won numerous awards in Ebasco's Photography Club competitions.
His daughter, Judith King write: "He was an amazing man, and introduced me to astronomy and Scientific American as soon as I could read. He loved math in its pure forms, but also the practicalities of what you could design and build with it. We designed and built a simple radio together before I was out of grade school. " Note: He is listed in Amatuer Radio Stations of the United States June 30, 1920: Call sign: 2AUH (18 watts), located at 601 Asbury Ave, Asbury Park, NJ. Evidently Arnold was building radios while still in high school. This was before W and K prefixes were to call signs in the USA.

Randy writes about his father: "I have all his flight logs and am still staggered by all the different aircraft he flew during his career. The majority involve seaplanes during World War 2 used for submarine hunting and later after the Korean War he flew helicopters. Also with the express purpose of sub hunting. He started in the Navy as a rear gunner/radio man in the Douglas Dauntless and similar aircraft. He was what I believe was considered a "Mustang Officer". He started out as enlisted and later gained officer status after becoming a pilot. One interesting thing was he spent some time teaching Air Force pilots to land on aircraft carriers using the North American T-28 Trojan."
There are two other slide rules used by Chuck Rash, and more pictures, shown in the Pickett, Circular and Aerospace galleries.

He entered the Navy as a Seaman Recruit in 1950 and retired in 1980 as a Commander. He served during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. After his military retirement Arthur was employed for 10 more years by San Diego defense contractors working on electronic warfare systems.
He lived in Las Vegas, then relocated to Boise, Idaho where he became very active in his Parish.

Dustin E. Morris (1939-2017) Dustin, shown in this photo, holdin his father's slide rule next to a Navy ship model. His father was a Naval engineer, so he started out young using a slide rule. He enlisted in the Coast Guard after high school where he started his career in electronics. Dusty worked for Motorola in the Phoenix area for 33 years. He went to ASU in the evenings until he earned his engineering degree. Dusty was a ham radio operator W7ITM who enjoyed building his own equipment. He was an active member of the Motorola Amateur Radio Club of Arizona (MARCA) He presented "Home Brew SWR Bridge" during his last year at age 78. Of the mmany slide rules donated to ISRM, by his wife, Nancy, this is one he used quite often in his Amatuer radio hobby. You can see his other personal slide rule, A Pickett N800-ES Log Log and others from his collection in the ISRM galleries.
