Hamilton, on, Canada l8s 4l6 blackwk@mcmaster.ca he previous general update of correspondence and manuscript acquisitions appeared in Russell n.s. 29, no. 1 (summer 2009): 62–6.There are 71 entries in the correspondence listing below, covering 291 letters before bulk items. The latest item came in July 2013, with the latest number 1,703. The manuscript listing of 13 items brings that total to 76 since 1968. The latest manuscript acquisition is 1,697. Several items were received from other institutions , to whom McMaster Library is very grateful.The following abbreviations are used: L(s). or l(s). = letters(s); P(s). or p(s). = photocopies; Ts. = typescript; tel. = telegram. Carl Spadoni, late Research Collections Librarian, made several of the purchases. SheilaTurcon registered the acquisitions. There are surely more original Russell documents to be found and acquired or copied.There is not room here to list new print items or Tom Stanley’s new print sources. the plas penrhyn tapes, rec. acq. 1,679 These are reel-to-reel audio tapes from the final home of Bertrand and Edith Russell with comments by Chris Farley added prior to their arrival in August 2012. Access to them is awaiting digitization. Russell’s voice is said to be on tapes 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 23 and 24; there may be others.These will provide new text from Russell’s very old age, as well as insight into how he and his brpf colleagues worked. 1 Three small filmstrips, numbered i, ii, iii, in a rigid plastic box c. 13.6 × 8 × 6 cm. Frames include the signature of Walt Ruhman and a drawing of BR in iii. BR went on to preface a catalogue (B156) of the “somber horror” of Ruhman’s art. 2 Red circular plastic Emitape container, c. 9 cm. diameter, with a flat lid edge of c. 6 cm. A green-on-white Emitape label on the lid notes a 3″ spool, etc. Inside its lid is a label marked “P.P. Jan. 62. Copy No. 2”. This may refer to Pat Pottle, not Plas Penrhyn. 3 Magnetophonband basf tape in box marked Typ lgs 26 and double play tape. Under the box is a label showing price of 14s. from Harrods near the q= 50 kenneth blackwell Russells’ London home at 43 Hasker Street, sw3. 4 Philips tape on 10 cm. spool in orange and black box with blank Index. 5 Phillips dp10 doubleplay magnetic tape in blue on white box. Index is blank except for the word “iraq” by Farley. 6 Philips tape in white Scotch magnetic tape (10 cm. spool). Noted by Farley on the index: “Bill Jones interviewed by Tom Wengram and [illegible]”. 7 Small tape in grey container sent to BR via by R. Wilson. To the sender’s address Farley added “South Australia”. 8 Philips tape on 10 cm. spool in off-grey box marked “BR’s Message for March 25/26 1966 International Days of Protest ” (tss. at ra2 220.148476), a Vietnam Solidarity Campaign meeting. 9 Tape in large grey plastic box 18.5 × 19.6 cm. White spine opens to an 18 cm. basf tape marked by Farley “David Powell interviews BR for his 95th birthday . Broadcast 18.5.67”. A second, smaller label (writer unknown) appears to identify the bbc’s Home Service (“Radio H.S.”). [Powell had been interviewing BR since 1957.] 10 18 cm. Emitape box, with red, yellow, green and black lid containing 17.5 cm. diameter spool with tape marked “reel 1, side 1” and “reel 1, side 2”. A further label by Farley (date unknown) states: “discussion ?c100 w/end school” (a reference to a possible Committee of 100 weekend school). 11 Philips dp15 tape in black plastic box with inserted cover featuring pattern of many blue circles. On the inside of the inserted paper cover the following notes possibly by Farley appear: programmes recorded on...

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
