Transcription Notes:
Done my best to transcribe the second page in a manner that makes sense. A bit all over the place given the illustration. -@siobhanleachman
-----------
First line first page, added open and closed parentheses.
Comments for Cut 212, changed exposed to separated.
Page 2- changed description of image from rock strata to railroad line with cuts and distances labeled
Pulled out sketch of Cut 4 and gave it separate image description
At bottom of 2nd page changed latter to both.
