   We estimate the length of the         LINE COUNT (PR one-column lines)--
manuscript as shown to the right.
Guidelines for estimating the length
are given at the end.  If the line
count is 240 or less, there should       Title                            
be no problem with the manuscript's
length.                                  Bylines                          

( ) The count is between 225 and 240     Receipt date                     
    (or would be with relettered
    figures).  Be prepared to make       Abstract                         
    deletions on the page proofs, if
    so requested.                        PACS numbers                     

( ) The count is over 240. You should    Text ( chars./avg. author line)
    provide a shortened manuscript as        x( author lines)/55=      
    soon as possible, but the present
    version will be sent for review.     Equations                        

( ) The count is over 240. Shortening    Section Headings                 
    to less than or equal to 240 is
    required before further processing.  References                       

( ) A shortened version, when received,  Tables and Captions              
    will be treated as a new manuscript,
    with a new receipt date.             Figure Captions

Note:  The 240-line restriction also applies to any subsequent version of the
manuscript; care should be taken when making modifications to stay within the
allowable length.

   Please supply any items checked below.  Supplemental information may be

    composition process.

( ) Original Figure(s) __________ with
   ___larger lettering and/or data symbols (relative to size of figure itself)
      so that figure may be scanner-reproduced at a ___-column width (for a 
      savings of ___PR lines).  In order to reproduce figure(s) __________
      as indicated above, subscripts and superscripts must be enlarged to
      ______ in height and all other lettering ______ in height.
