It contains: (1) An "Introduction," including suggestions to the engineer when he is beginning to use this control; (2) a description of the origin and use of such a system, followed successfully on the Panama Canal for twenty-four years; (3) an analysis of the errors developed by using the system of control in the Canal Zone; ( 4) an analysis of the errors developed by using the same system near the Fortieth Parallel of Latitude; and (5) the writer's conclusions.
