Faber-Castell 67/87

(Click for a larger image)
The Faber-Castell 67/87 is a plastic 6-inch simplex pocket rule with the
Reitz scale arrangement and extended, self-documenting scales. It's a nice
little rule, and that's before you discover its secret: flip it over,
and there's a 6-digit addiator on the back!
The addiator is a mechanical adding machine, operated by a pen-like stylus,
and it allows you to perform addition and subtraction, something slide
rules just don't do very well.
The back also has a few conversion factors, the quadratic formula and
some trigonometric identities printed on it.
Scales:
L, K, A, B, CI, C, D, S, ST, T
