[The manuscript contains a number of figures at the end. Some of these are conversion and arithmetic tables whose details are of no conceivable historical interest; I just briefly describe them on this page. Those containing reference information not available elsewhere are given in on succeeding pages.]
[This figure is a table giving powers of 10 in teleprint code, with appropriate scale factors. The last lines are:
PSVGZQP@ | |
DLN¼¼BBJ |
[Conversion table for integers from 0 to 1023, with fractional equivalents alongside for use in interpolation.]
[These are two tables for the standard operations in base-32 arithmetic, much like grade-school addition and multiplication tables for decimal arithmetic except with 32 columns and rows.]
[A table to aid in computing the results of what we'd now call a shift operation, for readers who had not yet memorized the complete list of binary equivalents for teleprint code.]

[In the manuscript, this is a set of tightly packed and somewhat interleaved tables and lists on two sides of a single sheet of paper, intended as a quick reference. I can't duplicate the formatting in TEX, but the content follows.]
