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.
Book Synopsis Slide Rules by : Dieter von Jezierski

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.

Book Synopsis The Use of the Slide Rule (Classic Reprint) by : Allan Reginald Cullimore

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. The examples have been taken largely from Hydraulics and Mechanics, and while the actual field covered by specific problems is narrow, the idea has been to make them fundamental. It is hoped that these examples will serve the purpose of development better than the more specialized problems arising different branches of engineering. We f' recording or computing data should force himself to express. By the number of significant figures in the result, the accuracy of that result. The frequent habit of carrying results to a greater number of significant figures than the data warrant comes perilously near to lying with figures; it certainly creates a wrong impression as to the accuracy of the result. Certain mathematical constants can, however, be computed to any number of significant figures; for instance a may be expressed as or On the other hand, certain physical constants are very uncertain, even in the third place. Take for example the weight of a cubic foot of water generally given as lbs.; conditions of temperature and solution may easily alter the last figure of the three. With recorded data, however, the number of significant figures, as well as their character, gives very definite information. If we say that light travels 186000 miles per second, we do not mean that it covers 186000 miles to within the smallest fraction of an inch in one second of time, but that the distance covered is nearer 186000 miles than it is 185000 or 187000, and the accuracy is expressed by three significant figures. In this particular instance, it will he noticed that the three zeros to the right of the six, may or may not be significant figures. To prevent this ambiguity it has been suggested that results like the above be written 186 x which obviates the difficulty.

Download or read book Illustrated Catalogue of Drawing Instruments written by John Lyles and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally developed in 1993 for an auction of an Architect's private collection of over 1,500 drawing instruments and calculators; this extensive book is one of a few comprehensive references available for comparative study of these instruments. The original collection was assembled over a twelve year period from sources in the US and Europe. Each instrument is listed in a scientific format for comparative evaluation and identification. An abbreviations table supports this approach. Profusely illustrated with 113 color photos and 61 highly organized text pages. The Subject Index has over 400 individual references dissecting this impressive collective of instruments from the 18th C. thru the mid 20th century. Instruments are categorized by Maker, Country, Period of Manufacture and function. Different instrument makers and suppliers are referenced to over 300 individual items. The four page Table of Contents provides a logical and extremely useful subjective summary of the catalog contents so that whatever the instrument or drawing tool, its location can be easily found. The photographs were taken with the idea of showing these important instruments in a comparative array. Researchers and collectors will find this a valuable resource. These instruments represent a most prolific period of time in our history of invention and advancements in technology. Computers are the new tools which demand a new pace of design and documentation.... They leave behind the centuries of drawing instruments that were the connection from the hand to the paper.
