Just a note to remind folks that the 'Connection is a dynamic,
living work that depends on and makes good use of feedback
from readers.

As important errors are brought to my attention, errata pages
are published and linked at:

http://aeroelectric.com/whatsnew.html

For everything but the Z-figures, individual pages are offered.

When a Z-figure gets fixed, the entire Appendix Z is revised
and published. Holders of the 'Connection are encouraged to
keep an eye on the What's New page and take advantage of the
corrections made available.

Erich,

Sorry to take so long to get back on this. Your questions prompted a review
of some p-mag issues in Figures Z-13/8 and Z-33 along with the text in
the notes which I thought I'd fixed some time ago. In looking over the
originals this morning, I found several things that needed fixing so
I've updated Appendix Z to Revision F and posted the new document at:

http://aeroelectric.com/articles/Rev11/AppZ_R11F.pdf

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Bob . . .
