◊CONTENTS
Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below.
Original printed page numbers are shown in the right margin like "p052".
Original small capitalsLOOKLIKETHIS.
Footnotes have been renumbered and moved from the ends of pages to the ends of the appropriate sections, which are: Advertisement (page iii); Part I; and Part II, up to just ahead of the Data Sheets—which have their own footnotes, which were neither moved nor renumbered.
Illustrations are moved from inside paragraphs to between paragraphs. The symbol "lgr", in a caption to an illustration, links to a larger image—these are available only in the html edition. The transcriber created the cover image by editing the title page image, and hereby assigns it to the public domain.
Pages16–18. Page 16 ended after "with another one, No. 31, also shown" (i.e. in the middle of a sentence). This was followed by Plates1–4, & then by page 17, which contained two data tables, & then page 18, which continued the original paragraph. The transcriber has closed the paragraph, and moved the Plates and tables to follow it.
Pages31–32. The footnote on page 31 said only "See footnote on page 32." The footnote on page 32 had no anchor in the text. Therefore, to simplify, the page 31 footnote has been eliminated, and its anchor is linked directly to the page 32 footnote. Pages46–47. The footnote on page 47 had no anchor in the text. However, the footnote on page 46 said only "See Footnote page 47". Therefore, the footnote anchor on page 46 has been linked directly to the footnote on page 47, eliminating the page 46 footnote.
Page63. The large table was split into two tables, repeating the first column in each part.
Page140. The paragraph for June 23 originally ended "dotted line in Plate". The transcriber has inserted " 34.", as a guess.

Pages297–308, Data Sheets. Remarks originally situated in the tables are appended below each Data Sheet. The units of measurement were originally spelled out—m.=Metres;ft.=Feet;gr.=Grammes; andlbs.=Pounds.
