To tabulate the cooler, we have only to add the area at one-tenth of an inch deep continually to itself for every additional tenth of the depth from the bottom, thus, 25-957 Area at 0-1 inches deep. 25-9U7 51-931 Area at 0-2 inches deep. And so on for three or four inches of the depth. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 3. Of Irregular Vessels.
