Extract

I am grateful to Mr. Llewelyn for pointing out the slip in equation (3) of reference 1.

In considering a particular case of the polynomial camber line I did have to evaluate a number of integrals of the kind but the process is not as laborious as perhaps Mr. Llewelyn implies for there is a simple recurrence relation between integrals of this kind.
