About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1807 Excerpt: ... middle lines, the one being above the numbers, and the other below. These four lines are logarithmic ones, and the three A, B, C, which are all equal to one another, are double lines, as they proceed twice over from 1 to 10. The other or lowest line D, is a single one proceeding horn 4 to 40. It is also called the girt line, from its use in computing the contents of trees and timber. Upon it are also marked WG at 1715 and AG at 18-95, the wine and ale gage points, to make this instrument serve the purpose of a gaging rule. On the other part of this face there is a table of the value of a load, or 50 cubic feet of timber, at all prices from 6 pence to 2 shillings a-foot. When I at the beginning of any line is accounted 1, or unit, then the 1 in the middle will be 10 and the 1 at the end 100; and when 1 at the beginning is accounted 10, then the 1 in the middle is 100, and the one at tbe end 1000; and so on. All the smaller divisions being altered proportionally. PROBLEM I. To multiply numbers together. Suppose the two numbers 13 and 24.--Set l on B to 13 on A; then against 24 on B stands 312 on A, which is the required product of the two given numbers 13 and 24. Note. In any operations, when a number runs beyond the end of tbe line, seek it on the other radius, or other part of the line; that is, take the 10th paljt of it or the 100th part of it, &c. and increase the result proportionally 10 fold, or 100 fold, &c. In like manner the product of 35 and 19 is 665. and the product of 270 and 54 is 14530. PROBLEM II. Te divide by the sliding rule. As suppose to divide 312 by 24.--Set the divisor 24 on B to the dividend 312 on A; then against 1 on B stands 13, the quotient, on A. Also 396 divided by 27 gives 14 6, and 741 divided by 42 gives 17-6. PROBLEM...
