◕Authoritative print

Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred and Sixth Semi-Annual Conference (October 1935), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1935sa). 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).

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Internet Archive scan conferencereport1935sa (106th Semi-Annual Conference, held Fri Oct 4 - Sun Oct 6, 1935). 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 n125-128), which lists every address with its own page range and sub-topic headings. This conference's original ingest was already exceptionally clean: all 35 vault files map one-to-one to the real discourses listed in the index, every speaker field was already a correctly-formed bare name with no running-head bleed anywhere in the corpus, and existing date/session/talk_order metadata was already correct. Filled in the one remaining page-anchored source_url that still had only the bare item link. Confirmed no missing addresses this pass.
