Figure 1. (Below) Plating mark as shown in the Neinken plating diagrams inside of the "S" of US.

Figure 2. (Below) Plating mark inside Ornament "G."

Figure 3. (Below) The red arrows indicate plating marks, guide dot and "O" curl found on this position. The violet arrows are marks and blurs of interest not shown on the plating diagrams.

The "O" curls designate a small curl variety found on seven positions in the right pane of Plate 7 and one position in the left pane, the best example being 94R7. The curl occurs under the "O" of ONE, hence its name. The curl makes its appearance first on 94R7, on which it is the most pronounced, it then repeats itself on 53R, 93R, 52R, 92R, 51R and 91R. Its last appearance is on 60L.
