Concise Slide Rules
and rebranded variants

This gallery is focused on the varieties of Concise circular slide rules and the many variants of promotional specimens. Concise is manufactured by K.K. Konsaisu of Tokyo, Japan, and is the only manufacturer still producing and marketing new slide rules that have the classic scales. The advantage of circular slide rules, is that the dimensions can be small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, yet have the scale resolution of a standard linear slide rule. Construction is simple as the only only fastener is the single screw or rivet at the center of the disk. Sama and Etani out of Groton, Massachusettes, (© Etani Shoji Kaisha, ltd, Tokyo) designed a series of tables that are inserts in a rectangular stock. There is also one model with an addiator on the reverse side. The current website in Japan for buying brand new slide rules Concise Co. Ltd. Note that Scientific Instruments rebranded Concise circular slide rules are moved into the SIC gallery, to minimize maintenance errors.

Concise 28 vs. 28N Cursors
Concise No.28 vs No. 28N Circular slide rules
The 8.5cm diameter No. 28 has a wrap-around double-sded cursor which served no use in carrying calculations to the other side.
The 28N has a cost-reduced single-sided cursor that has a slight lip on the end that rides in a grooved track in the face near the outer edge. This keeps the user from catching accidently. The No.28 has a wrap-around double-sded cursor which served no use in calculations.

Richard Levy 1932 - 2017 was born in London, and as a child, he was evacuated to Montreal to escape the Blitz during the WWII, He returned to London in 1943 to complete his schooling and graduated from Cambridge with a BA in Math. He married Midge in 1955, and then moved to the USA. He received a Fellowship at Princeton University and earned a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering. During this time he made extensive use of his slide rules. He returned to Montreal to begin his career at Canadair, and subsequently moved to Boston where he worked for AVCO during the 1960s and 1970s. At AVCO he began work on laser applications, and with Sargent Janes, coauthored a number of patents regarding their use in the separation of isotopes which has important applications in the production of nuclear energy. This accomplishment led to the formation of a joint venture between Avco and Exxon, and in 1974 he moved to Seattle to begin work with this new entity. He left corporate life in 1980, retiring in Seattle. He spent retirement consulting and studying issues such as the Allies decision not to bomb the rail lines leading to Auschwitz. He enjoyed the outdoors, the symphony and the opera, and was proud of his heritage.

Gift of Bruce Healy
Bruce writes: "I am not a slide rule expert. My father gave me my first calculator in my sixth grade (1978), and I never had to really learn the slide rule. Attempts to teach me happened, but never stuck well. My father (still) teaches EE at Santa Clara University at age 88, I graduated with a ME degree in 1987. So, although I was on the cusp of the technology change, slide rules still fascinate me. Your ISRM web site has been a valuable resource every time I happen to find a slide rule that is in need of rescue and a new caring home. Thank you for providing such a great source of information. I would happily send you this slide rule for the lowest amount that Ebay will allow, $1. Please continue your good work, and know that it is appreciated. Be healthy, Bruce."
