Date29 May 1897
DescriptionRecommended for publication in Proceedings. The interest in the paper lies mainly in the figures. Some of them should be reduced to about a third of their current size and the rest should be published in their current size. The author is partner in a firm which makes process-blocks so perhaps he could present these blocks himself.
