Abstract
Abstract Because the printer Richard Bradock began his apprenticeship during the five-year gap in the Stationers’ early records, his origins have remained unknown. Tracing the life and career of his second known master (Henry Middleton), and of Middleton’s own wider connections in the trade, has led to a record of a man who turns out to have been Bradock’s father. Moreover, in his Stationers’ Company Apprentices , 1605–1640 (1961), D. F. McKenzie wrongly supposed that some records of a Richard ‘Bradde’ (or ‘Bradd’, or ‘Brad’) were simply using an abbreviated form of ‘Bradock’. Consequently, half the apprentices credited to Bradock should be reassigned to the Stationer Richard ‘Brad’, the son of Stationer John ‘Bread’ or ‘Bred’.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
