Notes on Transcribing this page (optional)
I hope I did this correctly; I am not sure if some of the letters were Greek. Please see instructions for tables and Greek letters before continuing: https://transcription.si.edu/instructions-women-computers-workbooks ---------- Reopened for Editing 2025-07-10 07:14:23 It might help to review some of the completed pages to see the correct format. Some columns have move than one number as the measurement can have 3 numbers. The details about this are at the end of the instructions linked above. Fixed table header. All rows need to have 4 columns. [[equation]] needs to be replaced with actual text
This section can be used to communicate any questions or concerns to Smithsonian staff, as well as other volunteers, about this transcription. Do not use to transcribe extraneous notes made by collector or other institutions.
