Re: [SCIENCE] Scientific American Supplement, No. 795, March 28, 1891, by Various - thw
No problem. I kind of do my own PL sometimes also. I found a small repeat at the end of section 16, so I uploaded the new version https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/sciamsuppl795march1891_16_various_128kb.mp3 21:16 We should all do some sort of PL on our work, but even with the best of efforts som...

Thank you! I've updated the Magic Window. Our DPL has been under the weather so a little behind, but should be caught up pretty soon. I did not do a full PL of Section 17 -- just enough to see what ad was all about and how you did with that Rx. Very impressed by how you handled this challenging pas...

"3s. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet" should be read "three shillings, 6 six pence." Ah, thanks! I will update this when I get a chance this weekend. Fascinating how monetary (and other])abbreviations come about. Apparently the "d" is a reference to the denarius , the Roman p...

With great (ok, maybe not that great) effort and frustration I have completed the Gaseous Illuminants sections! I need to stop picking sections with such annoyingly unwieldy sentences with multiple levels of dependent clauses and phrases that it twists the mind into a jumble. Section 14 https://libr...

I'm enjoying these scientific readings. I would like to do the "Gaseous Illuminants" sections (14,15,16) I have questions about how the charts should be read though. I think it would be confusing for the listener to just read the numbers as they appear, so I was thinking for example the &q...

Section 4 completed. https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/sciamsuppl795march1891_04_various_128kb.mp3 6:52 I verbalized the medical abbreviations in full for the "Rx"; hopefully this is ok. But I was not sure of what "ad 120" meant nor how I should say it. Saying "A.D." ...

Comments on "How to Prevent Hay Fever"
Comments on Section 4 of the Scientific American Supplement, No. 795, March 28, 1891 ; "How to Prevent Hay Fever": My first reaction to reading this section/article was: "Yikes, those are some potentially harmful remedies." And I was strongly tempted to inject into my recording &...

Re: ~(Group/travel) Greatest wonders of the world, by Esther Singleton - lt
Here is Section 46 - "Yellowstone" https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/greatestwondersoftheworld_46_singleton_128kb.mp3 25:52 I accidentally messed with my recording input gain halfway through reading this. I think I was able to smooth it out; hopefully the merge point is not too noticeable.
