53a Under control, remove phosphorus and boron from copper zinc alloy (2,5)
Looks like ‘in check’ but I can’t parse it.

Take P, phosphorus and B, boron, from Pinchbeck, copper zinc alloy.

(P)inch(b)eck

Thanks, never heard of that.

SB, you have now! Glad we could help.

Can anyone parse 19a for me? “Subjects against abandoning senses of rights and wrongs?” (8)

I imagine it’s (CON)SCIENCES, dropping con, against

That sounds reasonable. Thank you.
