Chapter 01 is Pled OK!!!

I'd like to volunteer for Part 19.

Thing is, I'm not sure how to read out the tables. I think if I read out the column heading each time I give out the information under it, it should be clear enough, though that does mean I'm not following the text exactly.

Anyway, if that is Ok with you, I'd love to read it. I have a friend who can tell me how to pronounce the Italian names I'm not sure about.

Part 19 is assigned to you!

As to the tables, the approach you suggested is a good one. Such deviation from the text is fully acceptable.

Thanks!

Major problem with the table - I am not sure about the columnisation.

I cannot tell which column belongs to which ship.

For example, regarding the Hapsburg - does the table say she has two rifled guns? Or does the table say that the Affondatore has two lots of rifled guns with different poundage? I think the latter, but I'd really rather have clarification or confirmation from someone else before I commit to it.

Meanwhile, I'll record the non-tabled bits, and splice in the table later, once I know I'm reading the data correctly.

As I see the table, first three columns refer to Austrian ships, other three to Italians. Accordingly, Affondatore has two lots of rifled guns with different poundage, but "Re di Portogallo" even three different poundages.

Cool! So now I can do the table too!
