Project Gutenberg eBook #32857, The Theory of the Relativity of Motion, Richard Chace Tolman, a LaTeX re-typesetting (pdfTeX, 17 June 2010) by Andrew D. Hwang, Berjz Zamanian, Joshua Hutchinson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team, from the Cornell University Library Historical Mathematics Monographs scan. 275 pages. [web] https://www.gutenberg.org/files/32857/32857-pdf.pdf
Checked its text layer (pdftotext -layout): chapter list matches the project scan (Chapters I-XIII, section 136 "The Right-Angled Lever", section 146 "Transformation Equation for Temperature", section 172 "Theory of the Wilson Experiment", Chapter XIII "Four-Dimensional Analysis"). Displayed equations survive with their numbers, e.g. (201) reads T = T◦ sqrt(1 - u²/c²) [read: research/files/Tolman-1917-Gutenberg-32857.pdf, text layer]. Page numbering differs from the project scan (Gutenberg PDF pages, with the original page numbers in the margins).
Bearing on the claims
Priority 1 (the inventor's own work, same text): the project scan has garbled equations in the OCR layer for nearly every chapter, and Chapters I-II, V-IX, XII-XIII rest on digests alone (claims.md source note). This edition gives a clean, machine-readable copy of every equation, so later steps can check claims 1, 2 and 5 (Chapters V-IX, XII) against Tolman's own equations without page-image work. It is a transcription by volunteers, not the original; equations used for a verdict should be spot-checked against the scan.
Gutenberg normally also publishes the LaTeX source for such books (file name not checked this run); that would be easier still to parse.
