_How to use the Tables._--When the _temperature_ is known to decimals of a
degree, take out the tension for the degree, and multiply the difference
between it and the next tension by the decimals of the temperature, and
add the product to the tension, for the degree.
Required the tension corresponding to 197 deg.84.
deg.
197 = 22.036 .465 x .84 = .391
198 = 22.501 197 deg. = 22.036
------ ------
Difference .465 197.84 = 22.427
====== ======
When the _tension_ is given, take the difference between it and the next
less tension in the Table, and divide this difference by the difference
between the next less and next greater tensions. The quotient will be the
decimals to add to the degree opposite the next less tension.
Thus, for 23.214 inches, required the temperature.
