- All inconsistencies in spelling, lay-out, hyphenation, etcetera from the original document have been kept in this e-book, except when mentioned below. The names Meickeljohn and Brown and Meicklejohn and Brown and Hillard and Hilliard are both used, these have not been changed.
- Minor typographical and/or printer’s errors have been corrected:
- page 5: and the used of changed to and the use of;
- page 13: distance, is it, of course changed to distance, it is, of course;
- page 13: four year depreciation changed to four-year depreciation;
- page 16: twisting the the rubber changed to twisting of the rubber;

- Table of Contents:

- Loading and Hauling changed to Loading and Unloading as in text;
- Fires changed to Tires as in text.
- Footnotes have been moved to just below the paragraph or table to which they belong.
- Other issues:
- Page 33 contained a reference to an illustration on page 40, but this page has no illustration. The author probably intented a reference to the illustration on page 38; the hyperlink has been made to the latter page, and the text changed accordingly.
- Figures 1 and 2 have not been reproduced to scale, despite the scale given in the captions: the size of the illustrations (and therefore their scale) will depend on browser settings, screen size, etc.
- Table of Contents: the chapter on Road Contruction has paragraphs dealing with guard rails and costs for various types of the roads described. Costs and Guard Rails have therefore not been hyperlinked to the text.
