Transcriber’s Notes
Inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation have been retained except
as mentioned below; non-English words and phrases have not been
corrected except as listed below. The (minor) differences between the
Table of Contents and the chapter headings have not been rectified.
Page 36/132: Figs. 14 and 61 are identical.
Page 92/93, Sommeilier: possibly an error for Sommeiller.
Page 134, Soummelier: possibly an error for Sommeiller.
Page 174, Footnote 11: presumably Fig. 92, indicating the planes of
the sections, is from the same publication.
Page 176, Austrian method: Dresden and Leipsic, and the Oberau Tunnel,
are (and were in 1837) in Saxony, Germany (or Prussia).
Page 179, The short transverse beam _c_, Fig. 90: there is no short
transverse beam visible in Fig. 90, nor is it clear which other figure
might be intended; there is therefore no hyperlink to the
illustration.
Page 279, Stirtling boiler: possibly an error for Stirling boiler.
Pages 337 and 342, Arlberg: possibly an error for Aarlberg.
Page 340, Wartha: possibly an error for Martha; Mertin: possibly an
error for Merten.
Changes made
Footnotes, tables and illustrations have been moved out of text
paragraphs; some table data have been re-arranged for better
legibility. In some of the formulas brackets have been added for
clarity.
Several obvious minor typographical and punctuation errors have been
corrected silently.
Page 12, footnote 3: Chapter IX. changed to Chapter X.
