Summary
Three pages of handwritten notes have been selected, one each from the notes kept by Winthrop Bell, W. E. Hocking and Louise Heath. They have each been selected from the notes taken during Whitehead's lecture on 14 April 1925, at roughly the same portion of the lectures in which a particularly important diagram was drawn by Whitehead on the blackboard. This should provide for a direct comparison. Each is fairly representative.
Technically, digital scans were taken of these pages by each of the archives holding the originals, and these were adjusted in contrast, only, to make each clear (to minimise the amount of text coming through from the backside, for example) but without introducing distortion, and saved as 300 dpi TIFF files.
