Oughtred Society book links guitar fret spacing to slide rule logarithms
A newly acquired book titled 'Calculating with Tones: The Logarithmic Logic of Music,' published by the Oughtred Society, features a cover comparing the irregular spacing of guitar frets to the tick marks on a logarithmic slide rule. The book, discussed on page 34, explains how frets are placed along a guitar neck to locate musical notes, drawing a visual parallel to how slide rule scales are constructed using logarithmic principles.
