Transcription Notes:
REOPENED: HAD TO ERASE A LOT OF EXCESS THINGS. I don't see any degree symbols or ', just a few ". Also, added (202) at top, and AM next to the 11, and took out the apostrophe in oclock. Made tables for some things. Took out colons where not seen. Put in what was seen. Don't know where the transcriber saw "Deneb". I don't see it anywhere. Also, it isn't a Lyrae, but [[theta]] Lyrae.

This page contains detailed observations of [[theta]] Lyrae and , focusing on positional measurements and instrument alignment (noted as "West P.V." or pivot point adjustments). It also includes leveling data for the telescope or measuring device to ensure proper alignment.
The "Level" readings (N and S) are instrumental calibration points. These ensure the telescope's orientation is precise and free of mechanical error.
Adjustments, such as "S + 0.08" or "N + 0.27," indicate minor corrections made during observations.
---Reopened from complete 1/7/2025: Read the project instructions for Greek letters, symbols, tables, and underlines. They are here: https://transcription.si.edu/instructions-women-computers-workbooks
---Reopened from complete 1/29/2025 because those tables are missing a couple things.
---Reopened from complete 1/29/2025 because Feby needs to be corrected to July.
