Abstract

We point out three errors present in the circuit diagram in figure 1, as well as a further typographical error. The corrections to these errors do not have any impact on the overall conclusions of the paper.

Firstly, in figure 1(a) the resistor RA was incorrectly placed. The correct placement is between pin 7 and the 12 V line. The correct circuitry is shown below:

Secondly, in figure 1(b) the second equation was erroneously stated as: TB  ≈  0.693(RB  +  RB)C.

This should instead read: TB  ≈  0.693(RA  +  RB)C.
