[Commentary:
The page is part of Harriot’s
notes on empirical ranges, see (Schemmel 2008, Section 8.4).
The notes on this page serve the comparison of Harriot’s
theoretically calculated ranges to empirical ones extracted from
(Capobionaco 1598, 34r, v).
He uses the values given for a saker with a cannon ball weighing 12 lb.
He scales the ranges several times and, in the table at the bottom of the page,
also scales a part of them in such a way that they become comparable to his
theoretically determined ranges.
In the crossed-out table in the middle of the page, elevation angles and
ranges are incorrectly coordinated.
