- Oscar,

There must be a problem with the way the post arrived to you, and is broken.
Before I sent the original post I logged totally out of Google to test the
link - and it worked. All the text that you say is missing in the copy you
found is in the one at google books. In your case I would suggest going to
Google Books and do an author search. You may find the better document that
way.

Thanks for your support, Paul & Gerald.
Rushing though the book I noticed bad scans and deducted that a range of 
pages were missing.
Upon more careful inspection I noticed however that there are two bad scans 
interspersed between pages 285 and 286. These ghost pages are superfluous, 
because _all_ book pages are indeed scanned and in the correct order.

Indeed, there are many more problems with scanned books on the internet, as 
Charles noted.
One of the examples I encountered:

Direct and inverse solutions of geodesics, E.M. Sodano, Th.A. Robinson, Army 
Map Service Technical Report No. 7 (Rev), July 1963
http://handle.dtic.mil/100.2/AD657591

It's a "best available copy", but the scanning is very weak.
