page 419 note * King and Reid's equation, loc. cit. p. III, will yield an indefinite number of such solutions (in addition to the real solutions considered by them) if βx > αγ, which is the case in their example.

Hence for practical calculation it will be convenient to write
The common log of ·00757987 is 3·8796617. In such calculations it is convenient to use trigonometric tables with arguments in radians or in decimal form; see list, T.F.A. Vol. x, 344.
