The whole sheet is written in pencil. The top tube entry carries the sheet's own question mark, “21" ?”, and the angles are given loosely as “72 - 74 approx.” Delivery was promised in six weeks; no deposit is recorded. The brazings line has been worked over: “6” above the struck “5/10”, a partly struck “12 gears”, and “Campag tunnels” written below.
