Transcriber’s Note

Obvious errors and omissions of punctuation have been corrected, as noted in the table below. Most obvious spelling errors, where the printer was the likely source, have been corrected as well.

The Dutch or Afrikaans ‘remschoenen’ (brakeshoes) appears on pp. 145–146 as ‘reim-schoens’ and ‘rein-schoems’. Though the former is more nearly correct, both are retained.
