The ruler (wooden rule) would be la regla.
A wooden ruler weighs about 1/3 of an oz. It varies with manufacturer, some are .29 oz, but a rough estimate is 1/3 oz.
That is the correct spelling of "ruler" (a wooden or steel rule, or a monarch.)
Well.. the purpose of the slide rule is that, to count, add, subtract, multiply, and divide. For as its structure is like a ruler and has a transparent slider. It is the type of a cursor, used for pointing out the numerals/ numbers. It is the third calculator invented, after Napier's bones. It was invented by Napier, as well.

AnswerThe slide rule was invented by William Oughtred in 1625. AnswerWe do not know the precise year. A circular slide rule was invented by William Oughtred some time about 1620, and a design of a similar slide rule by Delamain was printed in about 1630. The straight slide rule seems to have been invented later, some time around 1650.
