Transcriber’s Notes
The text of this e-text is that as printed in the source document. Unless listed under Changes below, factual errors, inconsistent spelling and hyphenation, the inconsistent use of quote marks surrounding reference letters or model and type letters, the inconsistent use of per cent with and without full stop, etc. have not been corrected or standardised. The automobile brand consistently called Jeffrey in the text was actually called Jeffery. The (minor) differences in wording and structure between the table of contents and the text have not been standardised.
Hyperlinks have been provided only where the target is clear and unambiguous.
Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text and their settings, not all elements may display as intended.

Changes made
Most tables and illustrations have been moved out of text paragraphs. In some tables and lists the ditto character has been replaced with the dittoed text.
Some minor obvious typographical and punctuation errors have been corrected silently.
Above or underneath some illustrations dashed boxes provide transcriptions (and an indication of their relative positions) of the explanatory and descriptive texts inside the accompanying illustration. These transcriptions do not occur as such in the source document but have been provided for the sake of legibility and searchability.
