EDITORIAL NOTE — FOURTH EDITION

The spaces documented in this atlas have been verified by structural engineers, architects, and surveyors operating independently of one another. In no case has a conventional explanation been found. The atlas does not propose a theory. It records what was measured. The measurements do not agree with the buildings that contain them.
