Because of the increase

in resolving power some lines which were unanalyzable or

undetectable on the standard gain records became analyzable
on tne nich sain records.

The data have been left in tabular form to make the
information more readily accessible to those who wish to use

it.

In actual practice tne analysis is more difficult than

For tnis reason a straight line is use3 for the
