This sourceReports the paddle-wheel measurements (work programme 1843–1850) establishing that mechanical work and heat are interconvertible at a fixed equivalent; decisive empirical support for energy conservation, exactly as the prime states.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The fetched abstract is the 1850 paper's Locke/Leibnitz epigraph on heat as motion; it names no paddle-wheel measurement or fixed equivalent, so it supports only the frame, not the demonstration.
““Heat is a very brisk agitation of the insensible parts of the object, which produces in us that sensation from whence we denominate the object hot; so what in our sensation is heat, in the object is nothing but motion.”—Locke. “The force of a moving body is proportional to the square of its velocity, or to the height to which it would rise against gravity.”— Leibnitz.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
