I admit I am not a serious collector.
However I received a small slide
rule from my recently deceased
fathers belonging. It is incomplete
however.
I am an engineer and looking
for a replacement cursor for his
13 cm Lafayette Bamboo Slide
Rule Model F-340
Made in Japan (I.K-1).
Can you help me locate one?
Thanking you in advance.
