* I am unsure about the equation following the sentence "Some idea of the accuracy of (2) may be obtained by comparing it with the approximate value of the left-hand side of (2) which is obtained by the central limit theorem in the form", should the square-root in the denominator of the RHS include the $t$ or not? It is difficult to tell from the original images and I do not have access to the literature at present.
