The Use of the Slide Rule. By Allan R. Cullimore, Dean, College of Industrial Science, Toledo University. Copyright 1915 by Keuffel and Esser Co. Published by Keuffel & Esser Co., New York & Hoboken. Issued 1915 to circa 1921. 8vo hardcover, green cloth , pp. 36 + [4] pp. ads.
A textbook and not a manual. It is not lllustrated with the typical line drawing showing how to the use a slide rule. Title page price, 50 cents. Contents are on page 36. The advertisements at the end are for K&E slide rules. The last page of ads states "Write for our 566 page General Catalog." That catalog would have been the 35th edition of 1915; in fact the title is not listed in a circa 1920 copy of that edition. The 36th edition of 1921 lists this book, but with a longer title.
K&E had their main office and factories in Hoboken when this item was issued.
