Reader’s notes on the scan
- Item 4 shows 'built 1897' typed over in pencil '21 years'. I entered '21 years' in item 4 text and item 4 years, and mention 'built 1897' here.
- A rubber stamp 'OTHER CAUSES' is partially visible at the bottom.
- A number 970 is written sideways in the dark film border on the left, but rules say to ignore anything in the dark film border.
