an inspiration for a calculating tool
...to perform A x B — probably invented to save time and reduce error in compiling his 8-piace tables of ln(x). These famous tables opened new realms in arithmetical computations. Even to the modern scientist, Napier's contributions are mathematical tools of fundamental significance.
1965: the LOCI*
an inspiration for a desk-top digital computer ...
LOCI — Logarithmic Computing instrument
...to perform AxB, as some do, and as others do, and even ln(X) and ex (X is any real number). For the modern scientist, only LOCI open such new realms of mathematical analysis at his desk — with the response of larger computers and the convenience of simple calculators.
