You don’t need to download it. Just go to the page, put your cursor on the slide, hold down the left mouse button and drag it. Same with the cursor on the slide rule
@ thanks Bob. I suppose my issue is, I’m using my iPad. I’ll attach it to my external keyboard and mouse. You know, I’ve found your videos fascinating. I’m 68. I wasn’t great at Mathematics at school (I’m in UK), but I had the urge to get another slide rule…my older brother still has his. I went onto EBay, and have now purchased 15 from different manufacturers. 3”, couple of 5” and loads of 10”. I resurrected my sons old Maths (in UK, we add the “s”) revision books, and been going through the calculation examples. It’s good fun, I will say, Calculus is a foreign language 😂😂😂. Was rubbish at Physics too. I was a Chemistry and Biology person, hence why I studied Haematology. But yes, keep them coming.
@ you are welcome Bob. I brought it up on my PC, works nicely. We get a young delivery guy comes once a fortnight. I was telling him about slide rules. He’s never seen them. His wife was going to be an Actuary, but changed her mind, and now teaches Maths. She hadn’t seen slide rules. I was explain ways of multiplication by means of converting to Log, or using C and D scales. He’s back in two weeks…..Ive to give him a demonstration. I have several Fabre-Castell slide rules. This is what the Edinburgh, Scotland used in class. I do like the 57/82 double sided one. I have a 57/86 and a different one, that only has A,B,C,D scales, and a geriatric one. I also use a 5” one too. It’s just nice to noodle. Perhaps if I was this enthusiastic in 1972/1973, I might have passed my Exams. I just didn’t understand Maths and Physics. I did Statistics and Arithmetic, and they were easy. I was also, as I’ve said, really good at a chemistry and Biology, Hence my career in Diagnostic Haematology.
a very interestimg video. great!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Can you phrase that another way?
Can I ask a simple question I went on line and downloaded the Simulated Picket N3. How do I “make it work”. Can’t get the curser or slide to move.

Bob, just attached a Bluetooth mouse to my iPad….and all works 👍👍👍
thanks for letting me know, I've not dealt with an iPad with this.
