Saffold R., Smalley A. A TutorText Slide rule

Doubleday & Company, 1962. — 480 p.There’s nothing magical about the slide rule, although it may seem so to the uninitiated. Its operation is based upon a few simple mathe­matical facts of life which will be explained here in some detail. There are many kinds of slide rules with different scales, ranging in form from the familiar straight rule to round and even cylindrical rules. All work on the same basic principle. If you understand one kind, you’ll be able to transfer your knowledge to others without much trouble.
