Excerpt from Ready Reference Tables, Vol. 1: Conversion Factors of Every Unit or Measure in Use
The present is the first of several volumes in preparation by the author, which are intended to contain collections of data conveniently arranged for ready reference. In this first volume, all the various measures used in practice, more especially by engineers and physicists, are given with their values in terms of as many of the others as they are likely to be con verted into in practice; the reciprocals of these are also given, thus enabling every calculation involving the conversion of one measure into another to be reduced to a single, simple multiplication. Moreover, they are stated in such a form that errors due to dividing instead of multiplying are entirely avoided. It has been the intention to include every unit or measure used in raetics, besides many that are now obsolete but are occasionali met wit The more usual foreign units or measures have also been ad ed.

Excerpt from Ready Reference Tables, Vol. 1: Conversion Factors of Every Unit or Measure in Use
A new feature has been added in the form of convenient approximate values consisting often of only one and generally of only two digits. These digits have been so chosen that the reduce the calculation to the simplest possible; they will be found to s ce for most of the ordinary computa tions, being always correct within The correct logarithms have also been given for nearly all of the conversion factors.
Another new feature not generally found in tables of conversion factors, is that the values of most of the compound units are given. This saves double, triple, or even more lengthy calculations, in which errors are likely to be made, as they often involve both multiplications and divisions.
A table of physical quantities has been added giving the derivation, symbols, dimensional formula, etc., of each; the table is similar to the one approved by the International Congress at Chicago, but includes many more quantities.
