John Wells · 1932 April General Conference · 1932-04-10
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred and Second Annual Conference (April 1932), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1932a). Reading order was reconstructed from the DjVu word coordinates with scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py, then cleaned: running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed; paragraphs reflowed. Not yet proofread line-by-line against the scan images (status: draft, pending review).
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the Internet Archive conferencereport1932a scan/OCR; confirmed body text, date/session metadata already correct.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Internet Archive scan conferencereport1932a (102nd Annual Conference, held Fri Apr 8 - Sun Apr 10, 1932). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) and cross-checked every talk boundary, date, and session against the report's own exhaustive back-of-book index (leaf n125-127), confirming a clean one-to-one mapping for all 36 vault files with existing date/session/talk_order metadata already correct -- including verifying that President Grant's brief tariff-on-copper remarks (index page 99, right at the Third Day session-boundary page) genuinely close the Third Day Morning session rather than open the Afternoon session, per the scan's own 'Conference adjourned until 2 o'clock' / 'AFTERNOON MEETING' marker on the same page. Filled in seven remaining bare source_urls. No running-head bleed found anywhere in this conference's corpus. Confirmed no missing addresses this pass.
