The 6 files, I downloaded from your site, which I presume were copied
from Turing's original thesis, were:

HTML for the webpage
PAGE1.GIF - Page 317 of an unidentified document
PAGE2.GIF - Page 318 of an unidentified document
PAGE3.GIF - Page 319 of an unidentified document
PAGE4.GIF - Page 319 of an unidentified document
PAGE5.GIF - Page 320 of an unidentified document

The last page seems to leave the whole subject hanging in midair.
Should there be a page 321?

Because you have found an error in the final stage of Turing's
analysis, it may make life difficult for those who do not have a copy
of his work when you pinpoint the error.

An uncharitable soul would accuse you of deliberately trying to cloud
the issue.

A real swine would quite simply say that not only are you
pretensiously incompetent at the technical content of your chosen
area of interest, but that you are incompetent at the mundane task of
uploading the material on which your pretensions are based, and that
someone who claims to be a computer scientist, and a programmer,
should have as a minimum competence the ability to check his own
work.

I have agreed to help you without abuse, so I will not say these
things.

But I do hope that neither of these is the case.
