This record's speed series contains numerous gaps and linear
interpolations. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the
file in which the shorter gaps have been bridged with linear
interpolations and the longer gaps by predictive interpolations.
Even so, the quality of the resulting speed record (in the alternate
file) is low and CMDAC recommends that you use these data with
caution. Neither version of the file is available on this disk.
These data may be released to the public domain at some point in
the future.
