Transcription Notes:
5/10 - fully transcribed - made a lot more sense to me to reflect 3 tables of varying columns on this page instead of trying to fit the data in the 2nd and 3rd tables into the 14 columned printed as first, there are no rows to be transcribed in the 14 columned table - pls review and correct if you have better thoughts on how to transcribe this page ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-10 10:41:14
