计算尺长达几个世纪的广泛使用使其成为迄今为止历史资本主义最重要的计算文物之一。然而，关于计算尺计算历史的文献非常有限。本章根据计算尺在工程和其他技术文本中的介绍，介绍计算尺的历史。重点放在检索和解释计算尺的各种版本之间的代表性比较和计算尺和其他计算工件，主要是计算机器（机械计算器）。
The centuries-long and widespread use of the slide rule qualifies it as one of the most important computing artifacts of historical capitalism to date. Yet, the literature on the history of computing with the slide rule is extremely limited. 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. The emphasis is placed on retrieving and interpreting representative comparisons between the various versions of slide rules and between slide rules and other computing artifacts, mostly calculating machines (mechanical calculators).
