Instructions and notes from models of slide rules that are no longer produced. This is a reference work to preserve slide rules manuals. Many companies are no longer in business after the 1970's.

The project is to provide a composite hard copy book and digital of reprints of restored instructions from the most popular manufacturer's slide rule models.K&E Instruction Books Contained in Volume 2:Book 1 - The Mannheim (Complete Manual) and the Duplex Slide Rules by Wm.
