5.1 Aristo, Dennert & Pape, Germany
The company Dennert & Pape, Workshop for Mathematical Instruments, was founded in 1862 and began making slide rules in 1872, as the company name changed to Dennert & Pape, Mechanical-Mathematical Institute. On Feb. 16, 1886 the German patent DRP 34583 was granted to Dennert & Pape for the manufacturing of wooden silde rules with celluloid veneers. Within the next several years, this method was adopted by all major slide rule manufacturers of the day. In 1936 the “Aristo” trademark was introduced for slide rules, scales, and other Dennert & Pape drafting instruments made from the new plastics of that era. By 1956 the company changed its name to Dennert & Pape Aristo-Werke. Their slide rule production ended in 1978, after 106 years.
