Calder's notes

Main position dot is slightly South centre, is distinctly oval North East and South West and is full.

There is a generalised short transfer in the TL spandrel with a small short transfer TR. There is also a short transfer in the LH central hatch work. The LH oval dot is touching but below the horizon tal guide line.
