Two rather old autobiographies might be interesting to you: "Slide Rule" by Nevil Shute [0] A large part of this recounts the development of the R100 airship in Britain. "Jet: The Story of a Pioneer" by Frank Whittle [1] A substantial part of this is about the invention…
> math we hide in our design programs was worked out on paper The Boeing 747 was worked out with paper and slide rules. The 757 was in transition from paper calculations to CAD. See "Slide Rule" by Nevil Shute.
…kind of computer you have in mind used to be electronic computer to distinguish it from a computer or calculator which described a human being who computed. See, for instance, Nevil Shute's biography Slide Rule in which he describes being in charge of a department of calculators when working on the R100. It's a fascinating read.

In Shute Norway's autobiography, Slide Rule, he describes the design and construction of the [R100](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R100), an airship of which he was one of the leading engineers. The R100 design was "competing" with the design…

From wikipedia : Nevil Shute later suggested in Slide Rule: Autobiography of an Engineer that the success of R100's Canadian flight indirectly led to the R101 disaster. Prior to the transatlantic flight, the Cardington team could suggest that neither airship…
还可以看看内维尔·舒特写的《计算尺：一个工程师的自传》，他曾是英国 R100 飞艇的高级应力工程师……（除了是一位著名作家之外，比如写过《海滩上》、《像爱丽丝一样的城镇》等）

有两本颇有年头的自传你可能会感兴趣：内维尔·舒特的《计算尺》[0]，其中很大一部分讲述了英国 R100 飞艇的研发历程。弗兰克·惠特尔的《喷气机：一位先驱的故事》[1]，其中相当篇幅是关于发明的……

> 我们藏在设计软件里的数学算法，当年全是在纸上算出来的。波音 747 就是靠纸笔和计算尺搞出来的。波音 757 则处于从纸面计算向 CAD 过渡的阶段。参考内维尔·舒特的《计算尺》。

……你脑海中想的那种计算机，过去叫“电子计算机”，以区别于代表从事计算的人类“计算机”（computer）或“计算员”（calculator）。比如看看内维尔·舒特的自传《计算尺》，他在书中描述了自己在研发 R100 期间掌管一个计算员部门的经历。读起来非常引人入胜。你可以从 Anna's Archive 上下载到。

在舒特·诺威的自传《计算尺》中，他描述了 [R100](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R100) 飞艇的设计和建造过程，他是该飞艇的核心工程师之一。R100 的设计当时正与另一款设计“竞争”……
