Velocity Factor and resonant frequency

Formula (37) on page 55 of the 1943 "Radio Engineers` Handbook is:
Lo = (r sq) (n sq) / 9(r) + 10(l)
Lo = approximate low-frequency inductance of a single-layer solenoid in
microhenries where r is the radius and l is the length of the coil in
inches.
Terman attributes the formula to H.A. Wheeler, "Simple Inductance
Formulas for Radio Coils", Proc. I.R.E., Vol 16, P1398, October 1928.
