The curves are so plotted that the areas enclosed between the base-lines andcurves represent the total volumes of the cords and of their component parts,respectively. The figures are so drawn that the areas representing the total vol-umes of the cords are approximately the same. The lengths of the segments arerepresented on the abscissa and so calculated that the total lengths of the variouscords are represented by the same length of abscissa. In any given figure, the changes in the height of the curves therefore representchanges in the caliber of the cord as a whole (or in the relative amounts of itscomponent parts) at different levels. A comparison of the different figures showsfor the va
