Notes on sectionally complemented lattices. IV How far does the Atom Lemma go?

There are two results in the literature that prove that the ideal lattice of a finite, sectionally complemented, chopped lattice is again sectionally complemented. The first is in the 1962 paper of G. Grätzer and E. T. Schmidt, where the ideal lattice is viewed as a closure space to prove that it is sectionally complemented; we call the sectional complement constructed then the 1960 sectional complement. The second is the Atom Lemma from a 1999 paper of the same authors that states that if a finite, sectionally complemented, chopped lattice is made up of two lattices overlapping in an atom and a zero, then the ideal lattice is sectionally complemented. In this paper, we show that the method of proving the Atom Lemma also applies to the 1962 result. In fact, we get a stronger statement, in that we get many sectional complements and they are rather close to the componentwise sectional complement.
