Transcription Notes:
Comment from the Transcription Team: It is more challenging to key in special characters, so our instruction ask you not to worry too much about them, just do the best you can. However, when one is able to produce the special characters, we welcome them. As long as the characters look right, we can leave them in place. Thank you. Transcription Center Team Edited: Not sure transcription requires that entries be made that would replicate the page. My understanding is information to be digitized for future reference and searching. I also understand from transcription services that using keyboard symbols such as the degree symbol creates problems when the text is uploaded to the final database so replaced these symbols with text, also transcriber notes better in Notes field rather than in body of transcribed page. Clarification would be great. These pages are difficult and I admire any who take them on to transcribe! Kudos. Also added end and start of page, text denoted by ditto marks on page, made word corrections where possible, reformatted image For clarity I have typed lines in calculations rather than use "[[Underlined]]" so that the transcription reflects what is shown on the Journal page. [[there are two columns of figures, not sure if related or not but shown as they appear on the page]]
