Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““9. In the purification of vegetable and animal oils containing free fatty acid, a quick continuous process comprising mixing measured quantities of oil and alkali for a brief period to effect substantial neutralization of the free fatty acid contained in the oil and to form soap stock, thereafter advancing the mixture to a centrifugal separator while maintaining the same in a state of movement sufficient to cause the soap stock to be in such a degree of diffusion as to promote substantially uniform separation, promptly centrifugally separating the neutral oil from said soap stock, the process being characterized by limiting the time of contact of the alkali and oil to such a brief period as to minimize the saponification of the neutral oil and by the mixture of soap stock and oil having an emulsion breaking temperature at the time of undergoing centrifugal separation whereby to condition the mixture for separation of the soap stock from the oil.” “10. In the purification of vegetable and animal oils containing free fatty acid, a quick continuous process comprising the steps of pumping together relatively small metered streams of oil and alkali in substantially constant, predetermined proportions, mixing said streams for a brief period to effect substantial neutralization of the free fatty acid contained in the oil and to form soap stock while excluding substantial quantities of air, promptly advancing the mixture by pump pressure to a centrifugal separator for the prompt sep”

In the purification of vegetable and animal oils containing free fatty acids, a continuous process comprising intimately mixing a measured quantity of oil with a measured quantity of alkali for a brief period, thereafter passing the mixture continuously through a heated conduit to raise its temperature to a degree which will facilitate centrifugal separation and then promptly centrifugally separating the refined oil from the resulting sludge and residual solution.””
