Slide rule people have a database of slide rule appearances in the movies etc.

click on link "Slide rule sightings"
Also, the fact that slide rule in your picture is neatly aligned with latitude line means that either movie portrays person with moderate OCD, or, more likely, whoever set up the scene did not know what is this thing.
