Abstract: The calculations which the average engineer is required to make in ordinary work are numerous. He could hardly be expected to make them if he did not have the necessary calculating device. Inasmuch as he cannot always carry with him a large bulky calculator he must resort largely to the use of a slide rule. The slide rule has sufficient accuracy for most engineering calculations and as a result is furnishes a means of performing rapid and reasonably accurate calculations. Little time is required to become familiar with its operations, and with little practice reliable results can be obtained.
