Small caps in the original | | have been converted to ALL CAPITALS. | |* Some of the tables have been laid out differently than in the | | original book, with every effort made to keep the original data | | and meaning unchanged. | |* All inconsistencies in spelling, lay-out, hyphenation, etc. in | | the original document have been preserved in this text, except | | when mentioned below. | |* Changes made to the original text: | | * page 5: 'and the used of' changed to 'and the use of'; | | * page 13: 'distance, is it, of course' changed to 'distance, | | it is, of course'; | | * page 13: 'four year depreciation' changed to 'four-year | | depreciation'; | | * page 16: 'twisting the the rubber' changed to 'twisting of | | the rubber'; | | * page 26: 'page --' changed to 'page 25'; | | * page 39: 'plank' changed to 'planks'; | | * page 39: 'is handy' changed to 'is a handy'; | | * page 46, table: 'A.M.' moved down one row, similar to 'P.M.' | | further down in the table; | | * Table of Contents: page number '4' changed to '5' (2 changes); | | * Table of Contents: 'Loading and Hauling' changed to 'Loading | | and Unloading' as in text; | | * Table of Contents: 'Fires' changed to 'Tires' as in text. | |* Footnotes have been moved to directly below the paragraph or | | table to which they refer. | |* Other issues: | | * Page 33 contained a reference to an illustration on page 40, | | but this page has no illustration. The reference has been | | changed to 'page 38', which is probably the illustration the | | author intended. |
