The Height corresponding to Inches 24.1892 Tenths of the upper Barometer, with the Standard Temperature of 31.24; for which sole Purpose the 2d. Table is calculated.
Repeat the last Process with the lower Barometer, resting at 28.1318, gradually, thus:
Section, 401.
By the 2d. Table, find the Height corresponding to 28.1, which is 3386.61; then with the Difference 92.6 (rejecting the .6) find the corresponding Height, by the 3d. Table for the remaining Tenths or Decimals of an Inch, above 28.1, viz.
| .03 | 28.0 | ![]() | = Feet 29.6 Tenths. |
