Transcription Notes:
I believe the last 3 words of the line that starts with "Plate C" are: 40ths of inch On the line with F in the left margin, is a word or abbreviation that I cannot decipher. It looks like it starts with an R or I and ends with a z, but I don't know if it is a word or abbreviation. There are additional numbers inserted somewhat between the lines, but it is difficult to tell where they belong or their relevance. I did not add them accept for 1520 and 1840 (between 0000 and 2250). It is hard to distinguish the numbers 4 and 6 entered in ink. I assumed that the sixes all had a distinguishable circle, while the 4s did not. Additionally, the letter under G in the left column appears to be an L, not a small h. I could be mistaken. Truthfully, neither make sense. For the last 2 columns, it is difficult to tell if a v, n, or i is used. Hopefully someone can figure that out. I corresponded the numbers in the 5th column to the row they were on, this may be correct because she linked the numbers in column 4 to the line below. However, the checkmark next to some of these numbers looks as if they were validated, perhaps by someone else because of the difference in handwriting. If that is true, the numbers in the two columns should match. 9490 was entered twice, I believe she tried to correct the first entry to 8940 (in the left margin), so the transcript reflects that. I replaced the 9490 with the 8940 before the entry 9400.
