From: WRC Publication Staff

Date: April 2011

Subject: WRC Bulletin 537 Errata

Two separate errors have been detected in WRC 537.

Figure 4A and the table containing the curve fit coefficients for this figure were not included in WRC 537.
The attached pages lOlA and 1O1B should be inserted after Page 101.

Figures iC-i and ic-i Extrapolated and the curve fit coefficients for these figures were presented with
an incorrect range for the V Axis. These figures and the curve fit coefficients have been corrected. Pages
i28 131 should be replaced with the attached pages.
