The
arrangement
of
subject
matter
within
major
groups
alsohas been changed,
with
the
objecti ve of
making
all
information
easy to
find
and easy to us e. When
the
grouping
and
general
arrangement
are
understooditwill be evident
that
the
manual is largely self-indexing, so
that
reference to
the
alphabetical index is reduced
to a minimum .
IN
TRODUCTION

from
the
past

this
change is to

quently to
