my U-boat MHR-1 in box

[collectorGD]

Hi guys

here a thread about my position line slide rule, used in U-boats to navigate together with the sextant.

MHR stands for Marinehöhenrechenschieber OR Handhöhenrechenschieber.

Serial number is 90366.

The instrument is in his original wooden box and made by Gennert & Pape.

In the book U-boote crews of Jean Deuze, there is a nice picture of this instrument in use.
