I'm leaving the noted phrases below as is.
janbbeck wrote:Notes on section 46:At about 13:00 "The weight of air" is read as "the weight of the air"
At about 14:02 "The first of these experiments" is read as "the first of the experiments"
So what did you edit here that I should PL for?

Starts with re-stating about 2 paragraphs that are also included at the end of section 45. Starting with "Rey's book..."
At about 13:00 "The weight of air" is read as "the weight of the air"
At about 14:02 "The first of these experiments" is read as "the first of the experiments"
At about 14:34 "lead" is pronouced as the metal, but is meant as the verb
At about 20:28 "I confess" is double read.
This section was labeled as ready to PL, so I looked at it.

Now,

at about 12:38 "The weight of air" is read as "the weight of the air"
at about 13:39 "these first experiments" is read as "the first experiment" (I misquoted the text the first time around, but its still off)

Is Laurence ok? I note that you seem to have spent much effort to pull sound bites to fix the files....

He hasn't been around for a while, unfortunately.

Sienna and I (well, mostly Sienna) will try to get his files fixed as much as possible. It would be a shame to open them all up again because of a handful of small mistakes...
Cheers, Ava.

Please PL those you have noted except for the ones I left as is. They are hard to edit and does not change the meaning of the statement that much.

at about 9:26 "that the alcohol which he used...." is omitted
at about 9:30 2629.5 and 725.5 are read as ratios instead of decimals
at about 10:53 "the atmosphere" is read as "the same atmosphere"

as always, I just report what I find. On all the PL, please choose yourself which items, if any, you want to change.

I will be busy with work (and traveling for work) in the next weeks or so.
I may not be able to work on any sections until July.
I'm just re-assuring everyone that I'm still on this project. :)
