THE OUGHTRED SOCIETY
http://www.oughtred.org/
The Oughtred Society was founded in 1991 by a group of
like-minded slide rule collectors. The original intent of
the Society was to provide a venue for the exchange of
information about slide rules. The organization was named for
William Oughtred, an English clergyman and mathematician who
is generally credited with the invention of both the linear
and the circular slide rules.
Meet William Oughtred, inventor of the modern slide rule;
learn about the history and background of the Oughtred
Society and its principles; join or renew membership; browse
tables of contents of The Journal of The Oughtred Society;
view a listing of upcoming events such as shows and annual
meetings; find data on American patents for slide rules.
