Official Methods Of Analysis (1916): Table 7, which begins on page 345 of the book and 362 of the document, is a U.S. Bureau of Standards table for calculating percentage of Alcohol in mixtures by specific Gravity. This is essentially the same table as Table 6 except it is calculated using a temperature of 20°C which is 68°F rather than 60°F as is Table 6.
