Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of the Slide Rule The need for a small book of this type arose in the work of teaching the use of the slide rule to engineering and industrial students, and this Manual is a direct result of sets of notes issued to classes consisting of engineering students and men of more or less practical experience. The book is not a treatise in any sense, its aim being to develop the ideas of the operator rather than to give empirical rules. Those rules that have been given are for the purpose of training the student in the formulation of processes, and it is not intended that they shall ever be committed to memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Slide Rule and How to Use It: Containing Full, Easy, and Simple Instructions to Perform All Business Calculations With Unexampled Rapidity and Accuracy The intellect remains unfettered by tedious processes, for the statement of each question, the operation and the result, are simultaneous and apparent in their connection. The laws that govern its operations are few and simple, and easily understood; and the curiosity of the uninitiated may be stimulated by learning, that on an instrument as portable as a pocket-book we have the whole gamut Of numbers; and that whether as a means for self-instruction or advancement, for unsurpassed utility in business, or for profitable amuse ment, its study is well rewarded in its capabilities for variod application. Scientific men estimate its value, the man of business would soon appreciate its assistance, and it will be well for the practical mechanic when he learns how to employ it intelligently, instead Of carrying it in his pocket, yet unable to avail himself Of its extraordinary powers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mannheim Slide Rule: Complete Manual; With Tables of Settings, Equivalents and Gauge Points There is a very general impression that the acquirement of a facile use of the Slide Rule is both tedious and difficult. This, however, is not the case. It may be easily learnt in spare moments, advantage being taken of these to attain to proficiency by frequent practice. The construction of the Slide Rule is based upon logarithms, but the principles which require mastering are few and simple, and a little attention to the following observations will enable any one to understand them. Each step of the ladder once firmly gained will then become, not only an incentive, but an opening up of the way to mount higher, by showing the logical consequences of the knowledge already acquired.

Download or read book A Treatise on a Box of Instruments and the Slide Rule written by Thomas Kentish and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on a Box of Instruments and the Slide-Rule: For the Use of Gaugers, Engineers, Seamen, and Students In the first edition of this Treatise, its utility, in the absence of other works upon the subject, was assigned as an apology for its publication. The instruments, whose uses it explains, are often so little understood, that scarcely half of them are of any service to their possessor. The Sector, in particular, the most important in the box, is generally regarded as unintelligible. The Slide-rule is briefly noticed in some of the treatises on Mensuration; but, as the pupil is presented merely with a few formal precepts how to use it, without knowing why, he never understands its nature, never understands the method of determining the real value of any result, and, accordingly, soon lays it by with dissatisfaction, and banishes it from his memory. The steady sale which the first edition has met with has convinced the Author that his labours were not in vain, and that he has extended among many thousands a knowledge of intrinsic value to all employed in the delineation of mathematical figures.
