Calder's notes

Faint but distinct short entry is found along the North side of the North East spandrel; main position dot is in the centre partly on East.

Kershaw's notes

The short transfer is almost restricted to the TR of the upper right spandrel. The LH oval guide dot is minute, touching but above the horizontal guideline.

Morel's notes

The travelling dot is on the cheek, typical of the 5th column positions. The oval guide dot is about half size, and below just touching the guideline. Tiny dots are visible on both 1 of 17, LL ( pf 15.1 and pf 15.2) and LR. A short horizontal line extending in the white oval is visible, just left of the bottom of the V of Seventeen.Position dot on left oval, travelling dot on cheek and short transfer on top right.
