Fr. McGahee:
That stuff was intended as an interesting historical note,
not a correction of what you had published. As for the wire tables,
I assume they are calculated based on this formula. Certainly
no one can draw wire to a three figure accuracy, at least not
for a reasonable price, so "slide rule accuracy" is surely good
enough. I suspect that the real tolerance on #50 wire (used in
meter movements only, I would suspect, if anyone has actually
drawn and insulated any) would be of the order of 20% or so.
