DASH IN HEAD VARIETY

FIGURE 1. (Below) Six positions of the left pane and four positions in the right pane produced the variety called the "DASH IN HEAD". A small particle got on the "C" relief after the entry of 63R, as this position does not show it. It first appears on position 22R and hung to the the relief roller for the next ten entries, disappearing after 68L9 was entered. These positions are 28-29-30L, 68-69-70L, 21-22R and 61-62R.

FIGURE 2. (Below) Large deep blur between Ornament X/Y and a dash of color at the small unnamed ornament position as illustrated in the plating diagrams. The violet arrows are marks of interest not confirmed as constant at this time.
