The process could start from empirical data, collected at the interface of engineering or other encounter with nature, or, from the other end, plans to change nature according to laboratory rehearsals.

Introduction,y before the “electronic era.” As I gradually enter into the narrative of the history of general slide rules (Chap. .), electrification-related slide rules (Chap. .), analyzers (Chap. .), graphs and tables (Chap. .), and calculating and tabulating machines (Chap. .), I move on to refine my argument.

This chapter offers an introduction to the history of the slide rule based on the presentation of the slide rule in engineering and other technical texts.
