Manufactured by Gilson who sold them to almost every American slide
rule manufacturer/distributor. Rules never carried any indication
of manufacturer or seller except "Made in US.A." so it's not clear that
this should be identified as a"Frederick Post" slide rule. But the
cover on the instruction book was occasionally printed with the distributor's
name ("Frederick Post," "Dietzgen," Keuffel & Esser," etc). Use
your own judgement: Was Post trying to pass the Midget and Binary slide
rules off as their own brand in the catalog pages below?
