Functionally identical to the later Pickett N500, the 800 features "Synchro-Scale" technology. That is, pairs of scales are drawn back-to-back with a horizontal line between them. Saves room, but makes for a busier view. And why combine K and DI scales?

Made by Pickett and Eckel of Chicago, sometime around 1960 (Based on logo, latter-style end posts and red numbering on inverse scales).
