Transcriber’s Notes
Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text and their settings, not all elements may display as intended. Some of the tables may be illegible on small screens or in narrow windows. Illustrations may be enlarged by opening them in a new tab or window.
Spelling, capitalisation and hyphenation as used in the source document (including the errors and inconsistencies in company, geographic and proper names, titles of publications, etc.) have not been corrected or standardised, except as mentioned under Changes made below. Results of calculations in tables are given in this text as they appear in the source document, even though they appear to contain occasional calculation and/or rounding off errors or are based on incomplete or contradictory data.
Page 50, Table 7, table row Austria: the remark in the last column may be better suited for the row Hungary.
Page 278, Footnote [132] Percentage of mean of totals used in a and b: a and b refer to the columns with footnotes [130] and [131] respectively.
Pages 508 and 510, Tables 72 and 74: these tables are (almost) identical in the source document as well.
Changes made
Tables and illustrations have been moved out of text paragraphs; footnotes have been renumbered sequentially and moved to directly under the paragraph where they are referenced.
In several of the tables data have been aligned more consistently than in the source document. Multi-page tables in the source document have been recombined into single tables in this text.
Some obvious minor typographical and punctuation errors have been corrected silently.
Text in a dashed box is text that does not occur as such in the source document, but that has been transcribed from the accompanying illustration.
