Slide Rule Library
Archive of Books, Manuals, Instructions and Ephemera

These are reference materials (100+) in the my collection, which involve books, manuals, instruction sheets and sales brochures. Electronic files may be scans of these materials or may link to or reference scans from other sources for our mutual convenience. Credits are given if known. Files will be in the standardized formats, like individual JPG or GIF picture files, DOC MS word files, or PDF Adobe reader files. These are located on my server. In some instances a LINK is provided to another collector site where the document is stored. Thanks gentlemen! Check back as I will be adding files and links to files often. The Mxx is my personal cataloging system. Duplicates are available for sale or trade. Click the Categories below or use the Find function in your browser to search for a particular manual or slide rule. If an item is currently in print and available, no effort will be made to document the item, other than to acknowledge that it exists. I'll be more motivated to scan a manual if I know someone is looking for it, so email with requests.
