Pickett manufactured large slide rules for mounting in the class room. They came in 4 foot and 7 foot versions. The stock and slide are of plywood (tongue and grooved), the end brackets are sheet aluminum. The cursor consisted of pine with aluminum paint, with a clear plastic lens. Both sizes came with metal eye loops for hanging from a wall or ceiling.

This is a large slide rule that is made to hang on the wall of the classroom above the chalk board. The teacher sticks his or her finger in a hole and hauls (pulls) the tongue back and forth.  If the teacher is not paying attention he or she may then  can get his finger cut clean off when it hits the metal end. It is made of yellow painted plywood and measures 84 x 10.5 x 0.75 inches closed.

Price was $25 in 1960. Pickett supplied these slide rule instructional pamphlets free to the schools with a minimum purchase of 24 normal slide rules.

Pickett was the Slide Rule which made the trip to the Moon Possible and was on board with the Astronauts making the calculations necessary for the successful round trip of "Apollo 13".
