Excerpt from Ready Reference Tables, Vol. 1: Conversion Factors of Every Unit or Measure in Use
The present is the first of several volumes in preparation by the author, which are intended to contain collections of data conveniently arranged for ready reference. In this first volume, all the various measures used in practice, more especially by engineers and physicists, are given with their values in terms of as many of the others as they are likely to be con verted into in practice; the reciprocals of these are also given, thus enabling every calculation involving the conversion of one measure into another to be reduced to a single, simple multiplication. Moreover, they are stated in such a form that errors due to dividing instead of multiplying are entirely avoided. It has been the intention to include every unit or measure used in raetics, besides many that are now obsolete but are occasionali met wit The more usual foreign units or measures have also been ad ed.
