A.W. Faber-Castell, a German manufacturer of slide rules, introduced in the year 1973 the „TR1 Calculator Slide Rule“. One side of the housing featured an electronic calculator and the other side a traditional slide rule. Although the idea was innovative that time the success on the calculator market was very limited.

The backside of the TR3 gives a traditional slide rule.
