Each Plate was printed with the same header:
PLATE __.
TRANS. AM. SOC. CIV. ENGRS.
VOL. LXVIII, No. 1154.
LAVIS ON
PENNSYLVANIA R.R. TUNNELS: BERGEN HILL TUNNELS.
These headers were omitted for the e-text. Captions beginning in
“K” with a number were printed directly on the photograph; some
readings are uncertain and are indicated by question marks (?).
In the tables of Figures 1-4, variation between “to” and “-”, and
formatting of table entries, is as in the original.
[Fig. 1, table]
Per cubic yard, whole tunnel section: 3-33
_may be error for “3-3.3”_
[Fig. 1, last line of table]
Total Pounds
_text reads “Pound”_
Figs. 3 and 4, and Plate XXIV
_apparent error for “Figs. 3 and 4, Plate XXIV” (usual form)_
[Figure 15 A, B, C...]
_letters other than “B” do not appear in the printed Figure_
[Figure 15, caption]
DETAILS OF “WEASEL”
_quotation marks look hand-written, but printed text has spaces_
[Figure 15, “Index” (small table)]
Multi-Duct Mandrel
_text reads “Mult-Duct”_
which would be satisfactory to the engineers
_text reads “satifactory”_
Missing or superfluous punctuation was silently corrected.
