Verification Notes

2026-09-16 locator audit: reader locator checked against the supplied 368-sheet ebook. Internal retrieval: PDF sheets 148–163; these are not printed page numbers. Supersedes legacy locator PDF p. 121–PDF p. 130. Chapter/section identification is verified; this does not independently validate every historical, legal, or scientific claim in the passage. Earlier verification notes retained below: Created from the verified Excerpt, canonical Source metadata, contribution credits, and matching locator during the Knowledge Library closure audit on 2026-08-31.

September 29 source audit

Checked against the supplied 2025 edition, 368 PDF sheets: PDF sheets 148–163, chap. 8, “Pot Still Romance,” pot-still operation and geometry. These are digital-file coordinates, not printed pagination. The section locator in the formatted citation remains usable.

Molecular-weight/ball-pit analogies are not vapor-liquid equilibrium. Page 162's black copper sulfate wording is a likely chemical misidentification.

Evidence: Pot-still geometry and cuts produce repeatable selection decisions.
