AIRFOIL SHAPE FOR A COMPRESSOR VANE
First Claim
1. An article of manufacture, the article having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in TABLE A, and wherein X and Y are distances in inches which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z in inches, the profile sections at the Z distances being joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.

Abstract
An article of manufacture having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in TABLE A. X and Y are distances in inches which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z in inches. The profile sections at the Z distances can be joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.
