Description
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.
