A calendar date finder in the form of a circular slide rule composed of two interacting disks, rotation of one disk relative to the other selectively providing calendar date information from a first preselected year through a second preselected year, inclusive. An upper disk has a circular periphery with a notch along a portion thereof, and further has a cut-out spaced uniformly from the periphery and extending along a portion of the periphery. Numeric indicia are printed on the upper disk adjacent the notch. The numeric indicia are sequential numbers from 1 to 31 representing the thirty-one days of a calendar month. Month indicia are printed on the upper disk in a predetermined pattern adjacent the cut-out. A lower disk has week day indicia printed thereon uniformly spaced along the periphery thereof, in a sequential pattern. Spaced inwardly from the week day indicia is a predetermined pattern of year indicia indicating each year from the first through the second preselected years, inclusive. The position of the year indicia is such as to show through the cut-out, and the position of the week day indicia is such as to show through the notch. Alignment of a month indicia with a year indicia automatically indicates the days of the week for dates in that month in that year.

A slide rule for finding calendar date information for any year between a first preselected year and a second preselected year, inclusive, said slide rule comprising: a first disk having a first side and a first periphery, said first disk having a notch along a predetermined portion of said first periphery, said first disk further having a cut-out spaced a predetermined distance from said first periphery along a predetermined portion of said first periphery opposite said notch; numeric indicia placed on said first side of said first disk at a location adjacent said notch, said numeric indicia being arranged as a sequence of numbers from 1 to 31 and being further arranged in a series of seven columns; month indicia placed on said first side of said first disk at a location adjacent said cut-out, said month indicia being arranged in a predetermined pattern of seven columns; a second disk having a second side and a second periphery; week day indicia placed on said second side of said second disk at a location adjacent said second periphery, said week day indicia being arranged in a predetermined pattern along said second periphery in order of the seven days of the week, specifically Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, repeating in four sets thereof; year indicia placed on said second side of said second disk at a location adjacent said week day indicia, said year indicia being arranged in a predetermined pattern, said year indicia indicating every year from 1987 through 2015, inclusive; and connection means for connecting said first disk to said second disk so that said first disk may rotate with respect to said second disk, said second side of said second disk facing said first disk, said first side of said first disk facing away from said second disk one set of seven week day indicia of said week day indicia being visible through said notch in said first disk so that one week day indicia is alignable with a respective one of said columns of said numeric indicia, said year indicia being visible through said cut-out in said first disk so that any of said year indicia is alignable with a respective one of said columns of said month indicia; wherein selective alignment of a year indicia with a month indicia automatically causes an alignment of said numeric indicia with said week day indicia so as to indicate all calendar dates in the selected month in the selected year.
