We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

MANAGERS AND PROJECTIONISTS 664 may check against any possible error. The two should, of course, total 360 except for a very slight error due to discarding fractions if that is done. Suppose, for instance, your flywheel measures 10.99 inches in circumference. 10.99x1,000=10,990, and 10,990 -*■ 360 (degrees in a circle) = 30.5277777 plus, which is where the importance of reducing the measurements to thousandths of an inch comes in, since with such an infinitesimal measurement as the thousandth of an inch, in a matter of this kind we may discard all but 30.5, since it will affect the final result but slightly, though you may use 30.52 if you wish for high accuracy, or even as many of the sevens as you care to. We now have the width of one degree in thousandths of an inch, and the measurement of the period of movement of the intermittent sprocket and film in thousandths of an inch, therefore the measurement divided by the width of one degree gives the number of degrees of the movement, and the sub Figure 230c traction of that result from 360 gives the degree in the period of rest of the sprocket, or you may, as suggested, also reduce that measurement to degrees, and thus check against possible error.
