The instrumental settings were made and recorded at the beginning of the
analysis of each series of spectra, and when possible were kept
untouched throughout the process. The voltage supplying the analyzing
beam, and the temperature of the room, were recorded at the beginning
and end of each analysis, since both these factors may affect the
galvanometer deflection.

The instrumental settings for the different plates analyzed are
summarized in Table II. Successive columns contain the plate number, the
name of the star, the width in millimeters of the slit producing the
analyzing beam, and the total length of that slit. The effective width
of the slit producing the analyzing beam differs somewhat from the
quantity recorded in the third column. For the three entries .10, .25
and .40, the corresponding effective slit widths are .101, .262, and
.385 mm., respectively. The corresponding widths in millimeters of the
analyzing beam are 0.010, 0.026, and 0.038, respectively, which are
approximately equivalent to .02, .05, and .08 angstroms at Hδ for the
dispersion used in this series of plates.
