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
Per instructions, entered text instead of 'symbols' for degree, etc.
