Transcriber’s Notes
The inconsistent use of periods after Roman numerals has been
retained; other inconsistencies (spelling, hyphenation, formatting and
lay-out) have been retained as well, except when mentioned below.
Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, not all
elements may display as intended. Some of the tables are best viewed
in a wide window.
Page 21: The equation does not agree with the calculations given.
Page 66, Fig. 11: There are two illustrations labelled Fig. 11, the
hyperlinks point to the appropriate illustration.
Changes made
Obvious typographical errors have been corrected silently. Footnotes
and illustrations have been moved out of text paragraphs. Some tables
have been re-arranged or split; in several tables, the data alignment
has been standardised.
