Section 4 reproduces a primary manuscript authored by <André-Louis Cholesky> and dated Vincennes, 2 December 1910. Cholesky is the author of that manuscript; Brezinski is the author of the surrounding 2005 article. The manuscript date does not establish an exact invention date or a broad priority claim.
Cited passages: pp. 210–211: constrained geodetic corrections and the matrix $MM^T$; p. 217: manuscript title, 2 December 1910 date and uncertainty about the exact invention date; §4, p. 229: the primary manuscript’s reported 56-equation altitude adjustment for Algerian triangulation and closing date. The primary manuscript transcription was inspected as text; no inspection of handwriting images is claimed.
