Default Alignment Question

I'm reading up on the details and specs for doing an alignment in the future on my '51 Tudor. I'm familiar with Caster, Camber, and Toe. While reading my green shop manual in the Wheel Alignment section the chart lists Caster, Camber and "King Pin Inclination".... in my mind that is Caster, but based on the numbers shown, it's something else. Please fill me in. Thanks.
