[R] How to correct documentation?

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Ming,
In fact, the notation lb/1000 is correct, as the values represent the
weight of the cars in pounds (lb) divided by 1000. I am not sure why this
particular transformation of the measured values was used, but I'm sure it
has caused confusion previously.
