Posted to a.b.p.t. 1918 treatise on distillation of alcohol.

All the thanks go to rallain for donating the scans of the book. Anything
wrong with the pdf is entirely my fault.

If your server doesn't like the size of the files (11) or didn't retain it
for you, it can be downloaded at

http://www.kozan.us/distn/distln-std.pdf.

Chapters, contents, and figures are bookmarked. An HTML version with the
pages bookmarked as well and linked to the index is available at

http://www.kozan.us/distn/distillation.htm.

The HTML version is ca. 35MB,
the PDF ca. 5MB. I'll host the files until the end of October. After that,
email me. If you want it in M$ Word format or just can't live without the
original scans, drop me a line as well.

If one of the four regulars who aren't dwelling in Tim May's killfile would
care to respond to this post, quoting the pertinent sections, maybe His
Obnoxiousness would find it useful too.

Way Cool and thanks!!!!

a good 2nd step would be for someone to write an "Idiot's
Guide" to that pdf. has anyone really tried to read it?

the html is a better way to go if you can handle the size.

Read it all too many times trying to proof the OCR from the scans. What did
I do wrong with the pdf? I'm open to any suggestions for cleaning it up or
making it more "user friendly" except I'm just too damn lazy to go through
the source doc file and bookmark every page. Aside from that, how can I
improve it?

Looked pretty good to me. Asside from a little obsolete English it made
me think about finding some oats and barly to try for my own single
malt. :-)

hmmm, scans, OCR? it sounds like you are making work, or just
a couple of generations behind on the current tech.offerings.

wrt to the pdf, maybe you need a later adobe? if you cannot
see it on the screen, printing will only make it worse. OCR
is not going to help.

even with a slow connection, try to grab the html version.
sometimes you can just open it in place, w/o downloading
the whole file. that would give you some really decent
navigation tools. --Loren

It was a collaboration, one of the misc.survivalism regulars sent me .jpgs
of the book, I ran them through OCR (OmniPage 12), saved them in a M$ word
DOC file, proofed and cleaned up, and exported the whole enchilada to PDF
( Acrobat 6.0 Pro). Did the HTML version by export from M$ Word as well,
just didn't bookmark the pages to the DOC file, waited (my mistake) until
after the HTML export.

I'll bite, what am I missing?

i apologize, i didn't mean _just_ the pdf, which is fine. the
origional text is pretty technical, and too wordy (imho). and
i didn't realize until now that you are the op. the html makes
it easier to use and refer back/forward.

no, great stuff(!), sorry for giving the wrong impression.
