FIGURE 1. (Below) Detail of the lower right quadrant showing a guide dot and heavy dividing line. Plate 10 had no centerline. Instead of the typical centerline dividing the left and right panes, a mark was placed between the tops of 10L and 1R10 and similar mark was placed between 100L and 91R10. The later mark can be seen at the far lower right. Also note that this copy has been reperforated on the right side. The violet arrows indicate plating marks not illustrated in the plating diagrams but confirmed as consistent.

FIGURE 2. (Below) Vertical scratch, per Neinken plating diagrams. A faint horizontal guide (violet arrows) line can be seen at the bottom.
