FOOTNOTES:
Transcriber’s notes:
The text of this book has been preserved in its original form apart from correction of two typographic errors: incidently → incidentally, flouroscopic → fluoroscopic. Inconsistent hyphenation has not been altered. A black underline indicates a hyperlink to a page, illustration or footnote (hyperlinks are also highlighted when the mouse pointer hovers over them). A red dashed underline indicates a concealed comment which can be viewed by hovering the mouse pointer over the underlined text. Page numbers are shown in the right margin and footnotes are located at the end. Footnotes are located at the end.
Numbering and labelling of illustrations is somewhat flawed. Figure 20 does not exist and figures 18–24 are not in correct numerical sequence. The text has several references to figures 25, 26, 27 and 29 but these do not exist as figures in their own right – the numbers actually identify labelled items in figure 18 on page 91. Some illustration labels are very difficult to read.
