Great Reading!
one small issue:
"at about 2:20 "head of a small pin" is read as "head of a pin""
Let me know if you want to change it or just do PL OK
Hi janbbeck,janbbeck wrote:Notes on section 60:
Perfect!
Are you okaying section 60? I could change the MW to say PL OK.
I am sorry, that was a typo. 61 was perfect, 60 stays unchanged. The MW has it correct, only the note here was incorrect.Sienna wrote:janbbeck wrote:Notes on section 60:

hello,
on vol 2. page 265, how do i read the numbers in this sentence?:
Suppose we have fourteen parts of oxide of lead : to convert it into muriate of lead, 4·625 parts (by weight) of muriatic acid would
be necessary, and during the formation of the muriate of lead there would be deposited 1·125 parts of Water.
thanks,
kate

page 270:
Muriatic acid, composed of chlorine and hydrogen
Hydriodic acid . . . iodine and hydrogen
is ellipsis read as "hydroiodic acid, composed of iodine and hydrogen"?
thanks.

Or you could just omit it. I think it's understandable either way.
