t CD^=RJray; and in computing the action of the column ay, itwill be sufficiently accurate to put R= 1 ; supposing the internal radius to be CC= 1,the external CD= 1 + ay, as in [3153]. We have already found, in [342iv—342v],that the pressure of the column D1 D, at the point D, is communicated to… … [31586] A B D F.
