"Slide-rule Notes, With Diagrams" is a comprehensive guide to understanding and using the slide rule, a mechanical analog computer widely used for calculations before the advent of digital calculators. Originally published in 1913, this book by Charles Samuel Jackson and H.C. Dunlop provides detailed explanations and diagrams to aid engineers, mathematicians, and students in mastering this essential tool.

The book covers various aspects of slide rule usage, including basic operations, advanced calculations, and practical applications in different fields. It serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of computing or seeking to understand the principles behind manual calculation methods.
