Index: the (not consistently alphabetical) order of entries as printed in the source document has been retained.

Changes:

Illustrations and tables have been moved out of text paragraphs; footnotes have been moved to directly under the paragraph or table to which they belong. Fractions (forms 1/2 and 1-2 both occur in the source document) have been standardised to 12.

Texts in a dashed box have for legibility’s sake been transcribed from the accompanying illustration, and do not occur as texts in the source document.
