1. Rationale
The apparatus and procedure sections of the document are antiquated relative to current equipment commonly being used. The sections will be rewritten to generalize the text to allow both manual systems and motor driven/computer controlled systems. Consideration will also be given to automated methods that have been developed to perform the C457 analysis.
