3. Mixed fractions are represented using hyphen and forward slash. For instance, five and a half is shown as 5-1/2.

4. Obvious misprints in spelling and punctuation have been silently corrected.

5. The original scanned images were not very clear, especially the tables with numerical values. This may have caused some inadvertent errors to creep in during the transcription process.
