From the very cool website sliderulemusem :
"Pickett Trainers
Pickett 4ft and 7ft slide rules are the most abundant and varied that one can find. They were made of plywood with sheet aluminum bars holding the stock together. Pickett gave one to every school that ordered 24 standard size slide rules, consequently doing a great job of placing free advertising in every school in America."
Pickett Teaching (Classroom size) Slide Rules
Go to Pickett Demonstration and Teaching Slide Rules
Pickett manufactured large slide rules for mounting in class rooms. They came in 4 foot and 7 foot versions. The stock and slide are of plywood (tounge 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."
~It says there is even one in the Computer History Museum - CHM - in Mountain View, CA
