Edition V

Welcome to The Oughtred Society Bulletin
Welcome to the fifth edition of the Oughtred Society Bulletin. It has been a year since the last publication and several of the articles in this edition were written last year, so please keep this in mind when reading.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to fill out the survey. There were a little over three dozen responses and virtually everyone stated that they would be sad if the Bulletin were canceled. Unfortunately this wasn't much of a response, so it appears that there aren't very many people reading the Bulletin. If this isn't the case, then please let us know by sending a quick email to osbulletin[at]gmail.com letting us know that you would like to continue to see the Bulletin produced. If there still isn't much of a response, the Bulletin may be discontinued.

Editor notes will be italicized and in green font. Most of the images are clickable and will open in a new browser window showing a larger image.
