Synopsis
Excerpt from Smoley's Tables: Parallel Tables of Logarithms and Squares, Angles and Logarithmic Functions, Corresponding to Given Bevels and Other Tables, for Engineers, Architects, Etc
In an article by Mr, F. D. Davis entitled: Smoley's Tables; Some Convenient Methods by Their Use, published in the Engineering News of Dec. 25, 1902, Mr. Davis is discussing this special feature of these tables (visa their parallel arrangement) demonstrating the usefulness resulting from it by applying the tables to a number of' examples relating mainly to mensuration. But in the opinion of the writer the parallel combination of the tables finds its most effective field of appli cation in the solution of triangles for the purpose of figuring the data required for structural detail drawings. The most general problem we have here to deal with is this: With two given sides of a right-angle triangle, usually the main dimensions of the frame (as in a roof truss the half span and rise), to find: 1, the hypothenuse 2, the bevel or slope; 3, the log. Functions of the angles of the triangle, the latter for the purpose of figuring the diagonals of the frame, etc. _not only does the parallel combination of the tables enable the figuring of these three data in one process of calculation, but they are mutually checkingeach other at the same time. In examples VI and vili, pages 328 and 330, the hypothenuse, bevel, log tang. (visa the log. Of the bevel) and log. Sec. Are obtained, the log. Of any other function can be figured in the same manner as the log sec.

Smoley's Tables (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a valuable resource for anyone working with measurements and calculations, particularly those involved in structural drafting. The author, recognizing the frequent need to determine both squares and logarithms of numbers in these fields, presents a unique parallel tabulation system. This system allows users to easily find both the square and logarithm of a number simultaneously, saving time and minimizing the potential for errors. The book's primary focus is on simplifying and streamlining calculations for right-angle triangles. The author demonstrates how this parallel arrangement is particularly effective in solving problems related to structural details, such as roof trusses. By combining these tables, the book effectively replaces the need for trigonometric tables in most common scenarios, making calculations more accessible and efficient. The author further enhances the book's utility by including a table of angles and log functions, which serves as a valuable tool for solving right-angle triangles using bevels and sides. This table offers a direct and rapid solution for these calculations, making it useful for a wide range of applications. This book, a pioneer in its approach, offers a practical and innovative solution to common computational challenges faced by professionals in the fields of engineering and architecture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332968107_0
