LONG' 60cm Condition: nice clear scales, chip to beveled edge 2.5cm long The Gunter Rule, devised by Edmund Gunter (1581â€“1626), was devised to streamline mathematical calculations crucial in navigation. This tool was specifically tailored for use alongside a pair of dividers, facilitating computations through the measurement of lengths against various scales. Gunter's innovation, the logarithmic scale, introduced in 1623, underpins the functionality of this rule. Its utility persisted in navigation practices until the 19th century.
