Example: log! 25 = 2; place LLs-5 above D 1, then place cursor at !Ly-25, ‘and find the logarithm, 2, underneath it, on D. Examples for practice: log? 400 = 2; log! 280 = 338; log 182 = 02 Logarithms to base 10 Move the slide to the left until LLy-10 is above D 1. Readings can now be taken as follows: log 10 — 1; log 100 = 2; log 1000 = 3; log 200 — 2901; log 2 = 030; log 20 = 1901; fog 1-1 = D044, Readings of the characteristics are taken simultaneously. Decimal point rule: Starting from LLs, divide the numbers by 1: starting from Le, divide the numbers by 10. The 2nd Sine Scale $* is on the back of the slide and Is used with the slide reversed. For settings the intial mark of the scale ie marked by the index e of the Lly scale and the final mark of the scale by the index line for 90°. AAs the scale 1s movable, multiplications and divisions of angular functions ‘can be carried out simply without having to take readings of the functional values. Example: sin 41 X sin 29° — 02562 Place the final mark of the scale over $ 41 (lowat body of rule) with the ‘aid of the cursor tine, Below S° 23 (centre of sllde) we find the result (02562 on scale D.

Thie le a misconception. In elida rule calculations, the decimal value oi a umber — i.e. the position of the decimal point — Is disregarded. if the reading taken from ® scale ie 3, thie may just ae sily denote 0-3, 300, 0-63, 80000, etc. In the recult, ‘oo, the user must himself insert the decimal point where required. In practical problems this never presents any difficulty. The slide rule can thus be used for calculations involving any numbers. Reading the scales ry graduation mark can be accompanied by ite valuation numbe Would not allow of this. There are thus only a limited. number of “pulde-figures". It shovld be noted, however, that the subdivielons are not uniform from end to end of the slide rule, since towards the tight the marks are closer together. ] 2 8 gall: 107 Section of graduation-zone betwoen 1 and 2 Figt 14 9.1) 10 ech (= 1/100 oF 00} per graduation-mark) This enables 3 figures to be reed off accurately (e.g. 1-0-1) without shy further operation.

In this case recourse ie made to the operation known as *moving the slide throvgh*, In othor words, the re-eetting ie provided by placing the cursorline above C 1, and the slide moved to the left untl C 10 Is underneath the cursorline. A reading can now be taken of the remaining values. as wel @ Ifa “unit value", e.g. 1 yard = 0-914 metres, Is known Instead of @ “standard equivalent’, then C 1 or C10 (for + yard) is placed above 614 on scale D_ The cursorline again enables yards and metres to be read of from and D. (@) Tho value 1 inch = 25 mms. is often required. C 1 is placed above D 25-4 and readings are then taken by the aid of the cursor line, e.g. 17" = 432 em, of 37” = 94 em. In the case of 42", for wwe again find that we ake @ reading in the ordinary way, and ha (4) In all settings, see that the unit-vaiue and the equivalent are at the tends of the scale, under C 1 and above D 10 respectively, and th readings can be taken in both directions. Thus, if C'1 Is above D 25-4 (for 1 = 25-4 mm), then the value 0:9957 will be found on scale C, above D 10 (for 11cm = 09997"). ‘Multiptication The chief scales us hero are the main scales C and D. Example: 245 X 3 = 735 ’ Fig.5 The 1 at the beginning of the slide (C 1) Is placed above 245 on the lower section of the rule (D 245), and the cursorine above the 3 on the ower graduation of the slide (€ 3); the product’ 75, le then shown, Lundemeath the cursorline, on the lower section of the rule (D 735) Hore again, it may happen that tho second factor on ecale C and’ the result on scale D ‘cannot be set and read respectively, In the ordinary m made to the operation of “moving th slide Is placed above C1 and the slide pushed to the left, until C 10 is underneath the cursorlino.

(Division by the redprocel = multiplication). This method is popular wth many users. Example: 066 X 2025. Proces as in division, i.e. fitst place the cureorting above O66 on D, the 2025 on Cl then being placed under the eureortine; the product, 1337 ean then be found an D under C 1 5 (©) Products with a number of factors can thus be found very simpy. The first two factors are multiplied, as in (4) in the foregoing, C 4 above, the result 1337 immediately providing the vetting for the mult plication with the next factor (the first muliplication-method. studied), Example: 066 X 2025 X238 = 31:8, We calculate 066 X 2025, 18 under (4), and have the setting C 1 above the Intermediate result; the cursorline i now placed above the shd factor, 238 on C. The result, 431-8 may be found Underneath Il, on D. This could now be immediately followed by a further multiplication, by placing the next factor, on Cl, underneath the cursor-line, the result being found on D, beneath C 1, (or C 10 as the case may be). Multiplicetions can thus be carried out eltarnately by tho aid of D end Cl followed by the use of C and D, in accordance with the first method studied ince the upper scales A end B are subdivided from 1 to 100, with the lower scales being subdivided from 1 to 10, it means thet the square of ‘any number on DB, can be found on A. Example: 23% = 529 (Fig.98) ee Be Fig. The cursorline is placed sbove the 23 on 0, and the result, $28, is found under the cursor-ine on A, Examples for practice: 1945" — 1-81; 457% = 209; 0765" = 0585 The square root Is obtained by setting the basic number on A, the result being the number shown underneath it, on O. Example: yZi = 48 (Fig.9), The cursorine is placed above 23-1 on A, the result, 46, being found undemeath the cursor-line, on D. I which scale section ‘01 in the firt halt, whilst 10 to 100 must bo taken on the second section Values outside this range in either direction have to be adjusted, by splitting up the powers, so that they come within the range 1-10 or 1-100, ‘86 the case may be, as shown in the following examples: ViS36. This Is equivalent to 100 X 1935 = 10 Vidas = 10 X 44 a4 Via53. This is equivelent to Y100% YIM = 10 yiase = 10% 1207 = 1207 I we wish to avoid "splitting off the powers of 10, the following purely “mechanical” method of setting may be noted On the leitshand half, the figures must be set which have one, three, five, etc, digits In front of the decimal point, or one, three, five ete nowghts after the decimal point; on the right-hand’ half, those figu which have two, four, etc. digits In front of the decimal point, or two, four etc. nowghte (or no noughte at all) after the decimal point.

The transitin from Llp to Lls (with the cureorsine) provides powers The tr Ls ) P% Examples: 1-204" = 64; 1-205" = 225; 1-195! = 3556, 2 The transition from LLs to LLs provides the, 10th root Examples: 75 = 1:54; VEE = 1.208; VE — 14 Powers of o = 2718 ‘These are obteined by setting the exponents on D, with the aid of the cursor, the e-rark being above D1 (only In zero postion!) ‘The power of @ is then shown on the LL scales; with Ly for the D scale wwe have the range 1-10; with LL: we have the range 04-1 Examples: et = 5. Place the cursor-line above D 1-6-1 end obtain the result, 8, on Ls. ett = 1175, Place cursoriine at D 1-6-1, which, however ‘now denotes O161. Result: 1-178 on Ls. bm = 600. ght? = 1.862, e260 = 14, W the exponent of the power is negativ sees GES: tite estas Jating firt of sll with s pestve n and then finding the reciprocal value Roots from The flghthand or left-hend e-mark I placed above the exponent, af whi the value of tho root is found, by'the aid of the cursor line, above O'1 or D 10 (or underneath At oF A100). Yorm 1204; Vo = 648; Yom 1,133: The Nopierian logarithms These are found by changing over from the LL ecal Here again, for tho O scale, we have the rango 1-10 when opercting with Us and the rarge 1-1 when oporating with Li Examples: In 25 = 322; place the cursor above LLy end find tho result, 322, underneath, on. In 19 = 0262; place the cursor shove ULy-'-2 and find the fesult, 0262, underneath it; on O. Examples for pretice: n 145 = 497; In 26 = 926; in 184 = 081; In 296 — Caso. The Nopierian logaritnms of numbers less than {are found by the eque- tion tn 8 : Ve = 2081. to the basic scales. Powers of any desired numbers Powers of the type ” are obtained by setting the basic value on the LL seales abow D1 oF D 10, then placing the ‘eursorline above the exponent on D, after which the result can be found on the Ll scales. Example: 752% = 50; place Lly-375 above D1, then place the cursor above D 298; the value, 50, Is now found above it, om Ll, Examples for practice: 1890S —= 474; 42218 = 999: 42026 = 1.364 From the final example ittean be seen that here again, the rule concerning the significance of the decimal point must be observed.
