preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced
quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Some illustrations have been slightly repositioned to improve their
appearance in eBooks.

ten-thousandths of an inch".

Page 104: "would send the stream" was misprinted as "sent".
