Download or read book The Slide Rule written by Charles Pickworth and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction. THE slide rule may be defined as an instrument for mechanically effecting calculations by logarithms. Those familiar with logarithms and their use will recognise that the slide rule provides what is in effect a concisely arranged table of logarithms, together with a simple and convenient means for adding and subtracting any selected values. Those, however, who have no acquaintance with logarithms will find that only an elementary knowledge of the subject is necessary to enable them to make full use of the slide rule. It is true that for simple slide-rule operations, as multiplication and division, a knowledge of logarithms is unnecessary ; indeed, many who have no conscious understanding of logarithms make good use of the instrument. But this involves a blind reliance upon rules without an appreciation of their origin or limitations, and this, in turn, engenders a want of confidence in the results of any but the simplest operations, and prevents the fullest use being made of the instrument. For this reason a brief, but probably sufficient r&wm4 of the principles of logarithmic calculation will be given. Those desiring a more detailed explanation are referred to the writer's "Logarithms for Beginners." . The slide rule enables various arithmetical, algebraical and trigonometrical processes to be performed with ease and rapidity, and with sufficient accuracy for most practical purposes. A grasp of the simple fundamental principles which underlie its operation, together with a little patient practice, are all that are necessary to acquire facility in using the instrument, and few who have become proficient in this system of calculating would willingly revert to the laborious arithmetical processes.

Download or read book Slide Rules written by Dieter von Jezierski and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in German in 1977 as the first major book on the history of the slide rule since Florian Cajori's A History of the Logarithmic Slide Rule, this newly revised and translated edition of Slide Rules, A Journey Through Three Centuries, offers readers a fresh, more Continental perspective on this most fascinating of calculating instruments. The book is an important piece of historical and technological research, in which the author includes the history of the slide rule from its beginnings in the 17th century, through its gradual adoption and development worldwide during the 19th and 20th centuries, to its sudden and almost complete demise in the mid-1970s. He also covers the evolution of various slide rule components, technologies, and manufacturing processes, as well as histories of the major slide rule manufacturers and their product lines during the last 100 years. There are detailed references to original sources throughout, which the reader may use as a springboard to further study and research. Readable and very informative, this is a book that, together with those of Cajori and Peter Hopp, any slide rule collector or historian of technology will find of great interest and real benefit.
