Cheap (a few dollars) or expensive ( bamboo, $50 plus)? A few scales or
many? In high school, I had a cheap one; in service, I used a circular slide
rule.
There was also a Chemistry and Physics Handbook published every few years
with many tables in it including Integral equations. All the tables used in
math was also published separately. One table contained multiples of pi to 20
decimal places. (Very useful for high school trig classes! )
