You might take another look when you review these, they now seem to be linking to 002/422/001 and 002/425/001 respectively ......
Hello Louise, It's nice to virtually meet you! Welcome to Transcribe Bentham! I hope you're enjoying it, so far? We'll speak at some point, no doubt. Best, D.
Thank you for your encouraging report regarding my first attempt at transcription (JB/119/001/002). I believe, however, that one error was introduced by the revision. The final line now reads:
be of use. Mr Howard</hi>, whom every county and
I am not confident enough with tagging to know what exactly is causing the "</hi>" to appear in the transcription as it now stands.
Partially transcribed MS JB/119/074/001 does not appear to have a "Click here to edit" check box Keith Thompson
MS JB/106/039/003 has a reference to "Branch's engine the instrument for applying the pressure". I think this should be Bramah's engine. Joseph Bramah (1748-1814) was the inventor of a hydraulic press and is considered to be and important figure in the development of hydraulic engineering.
I've recently been credited with completing JB/150/370/001, JB/150/369/001 and JB/150/621/001 - not mine, I think.
Hi Tim. There are a couple of pages in my list which I transcribed in March and which seemed to have slipped through the net. They are JB/150/538/001 and JB/150/538/003. You might want to take a look at the page numbering around 537 and 538, 538/002,3 and 4 are actually related to 537 and 538 is a different document. Nice to see such progress being made on Box 150. I have been very busy for the last few weeks so haven't been able to do much but I should be back on board in the middle of the month. Regards Gill
In a recent updating of the "Top Contributors" table, I have been credited with 49,750 points. Actually, I only have 43,500. I think the 49,750 might belong to Mary Foutz - who has (temporarily, I assume) disappeared from the list.
I have been having a problem lately. Maybe you know what's going wrong.
I sign into my account and start working on transcribing a page. After maybe 30 minutes I press Save this page.
And I get an error message saying I can't save the page because I'm not signed in.
Apparently I get signed out without intending to. This is odd, as I have never figured out how to sign out, even intentionally.
If you have a suggestion about avoiding this problem, please let me know. Thanks.
MS JB106/009/003 is written in pencil (except for a column which is replicated in JB106/009/002). Does this need to be transcribed? It is faint but readable Keith
This is a question for the technophiles and concerns iPads - is there an app which can enable TB files to be transcribed using the Flash Viewer option to view to raw data? Keith
...I was thinking of the amount of improvment made since the beginning (the minuend)... See here: https://www.google.co.uk/search?newwindow=1&rlz=1C1RNBN_enGB440GB543&espv=2&biw=1093&bih=514&q=subtrahend+and+minuend+definition&revid=1535362734&sa=X&ei=YZ8uVOCpDYjtaqOtgdgG&ved=0CHEQ1QIoAw
Hi Tim, re your tweet on 26 September recently, which starts "March 1831, JB is aware of his own mortality..." linking to folio JB/107/360/001, I was wondering if the missing word in the folio prior to the word "improvement" is a misspelling of 'subtrahend', with Bentham spelling it 'subrahand'? Just a thought! D.
I will do it this afternoon. I worked all through the 'untranscribed' list for 537, so yes, there should only be the foreign ones left once all the locked ones are cleared.
I was reading your chapter on the project - very interesting, and what a leap in numbers there has been since the stats to July 2013 were compiled!
No problem, it's 537/314/002 - it's not one of mine but I can see you are tidying up Box 537 so happy to help.
Tim, if you can get the IT guys to extend my log-in time per session to 24 hours, that would be great! Thanks. Di.
Hi Tim, I've sent you an email re getting thrown out of a document today when I was reviewing it. The transcription desk seemed to log me out mid-flow, losing all my amendments to folio: JB/001/044/001. Can you check the email today if possible please and let me know the time limit for working on documents before the system logs us out etc... Thanks! Di.
