Note

This rule was invented by Prof. Perry and is called "System Perry." It has a pair of LogLog scales which refer A/B scales so that they cover modern equivalent of LL2 and LL3 (and their reciprocal scales) with a pair of scales.

One mystery about this rule is that the cursor has a pointer to the ten inch scale on the upper side of the body. The rest of the scales being 25 centimeters long , what could be the possible use of this indicator?.
