| TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES |
| |
| The text of the original work has been maintained, except as |
| mentioned below. |
| |
| Changed for consistency: screwdriver to screw-driver, pene to peen,|
| homemade to home-made, ballbearing to ball-bearing, horse-power to |
| horsepower, double-tree to doubletree, and eye-bolt to eyebolt. In |
| the Index, the following words have been changed to conform to the |
| text: sulkey to sulky, and re-inforced to reinforced. All |
| dimensions have been standardised to a x b (with a and b |
| representing two numbers). |
| |
| Typographical errors corrected: azotabacter to azotobacter (p. |
| 138), devise to device (p. 232), anarobic to anaerobic (p. 236), |
| and Hayford to Hayfork (Index). Some minor typographical errors |
| have been corrected silently. |
| |
| Page 158: "the so-called humid sections" should possibly be "the |
| so-called arid sections". |
| |
| The advertisements have been re-arranged to a single list per |
| subject. |
