    Description

    Graphoplex Roplex Circular Slide Rule.
    10 Scales - - 5 each side.
    5 -1/8" (128 mm) diameter. ¼" (6 mm) thick.
    Metal and plastic.
    Duplex.
    France.
    Has a unique mechanism for operating the scales and cursor.
    A knurled metal wheel on one corner moves the scales ("Echelle")
    and a second wheel on another corner moves the cursor ("Curseur").
    A very fine piece of machinery.
    The mechanism is so unique that, to my knowledge, no other slide rule
    maker duplicated it.
    Rule is in excellent condition.
    Operates smoothly.
    Original textured cardboard case is in good condition.
    The Roplex slide rule is scarce and seldom seen.
