Can you slide to first to beat out a hit in baseball?
Not allowed. Runner must RUN out the hit and get to first before being tagged out. The above is actually not true. according to the rules, you may slide into ANY base (including first). its just not very common due to the fact that you slow down when you slide, you therefore slow down. Because of the fact, it is a LOT faster to try and run out the hit and overun the base(which is allowed)
What are the functions of a Oughtred's Slide?
Before the invention of the pocket or handheld calculator, the slide rule was a popular tool for calculations. William Oughtred made the first slide rule by inscribing logarithms on wood or ivory. The use of slide rules continued until about 1974, after which electronic calculators became more popular.
Why don't people use slide rules anymore?
The use of slide rules declined quickly after the introduction of inexpensive calculators. By 1976, calculators could be purchased at prices competitive with slide rules, and since their use did not require special training, they were more accurate, and they had greater functionality, it made little sense for most people to get slide rules. There are still some slide rules being manufactured for special purposes, however. One such is a circular proportional scale used for determining the size to make a copy on a copy machine according to a different size of paper from the original.
What replaced the slide rule?
Slide rules were replaced by pocket calculators. This happened very suddenly as soon as the price of the calculator became comparable with the slide rule.
