4.0 out of 5 stars
Slipstick history from a German Phrancophile,
By Bachelier ""1004"" (Ile de France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Slide Rules: A Journey Through Three Centuries (Paperback)
This is a contemporary history of slide rules that emphasizes Continental influences over English and American ones, and therefore it is rather skewed. Still, Cajori's A History of the Logorithmic Slide Rule was published in 1910 and pre-dates Pickett and the explosion of engineering and industrialization which moved the slide rule from a toff's curiosity to a working engineer's sidearm, so Jezierski's contribution is welcome.
