Page xvii - ... duplicates of the preceding fiveplace tables, reduced to four places, and with larger intervals between the tabulations. The value of such four-place tables consists in the greater speed with which they can be used, in case the degree of accuracy they afford is sufficient for the purpose in hand.
Page 137 - The logarithm of every number between 10 and 100 is some number between 1 and 2, ie, is 1 plus a fraction. The logarithm of every number between 100 and 1000 is some number between 2 and 3, ie, is 2 plus a fraction, and so on.
