Log-log rule with decimal trig and 2-line square root scale. ST scale marked "SRT" on Versalog II ; markings on rule for trig cofunctions. Older Versalog has manufacturer data on the top edge of the rule, above the LL0 scale. Versalog II has a more symmetric arrangement of scales, and manages to make room for the A scale that users seemed to miss. (But, imagine: Use the A scale against the R1 and R2 scales to get fourth powers for free!)

Both rules with leather cases. Made in Japan by Hemmi.

Versalog II Engraved on frame with "KA-SS-EP-L48505". Readers are invited to amplify.

Original Versalog dated April 1955 ("FD" mark on upper edge)

Versalog II dated July 1970 ("UG" mark on lower edge)
