"Code to Play With" section

While the initial code segment used class name "Buffer", the simulation summary at the end of the section used class name "Queue", instead. The sample code provided for download (ch01.py) uses the class name "Buffer".
Additionally, the initialization block for that class requires two parameters (max_wip and max_flow). The summary did not pass any parameters to "Queue" in the line "p = Queue()".

Figure 13-2

The left side of this figure shows the synchronous case, but is labeled "Asynchronous". The right side of this figure shows the asynchronous case, but is labeled "Synchronous". Prose in the figure caption correctly refers to "the synchronous case (left)" and "the asynchronous case (right)".

Table 13-1

Given the values for the parameters K, \tau and T on page 142 as well as the Cohen-Coon tuning formulas in Table 9-1 (page 97), the values shown in Table 13-1 (page 143) are not correct. They should be: kp = 335.4, Ti = 23 and ki = 14.6
