(A retouch of the lower left vertical line) "From the top of the spandrel to the bottom of the box"

Marler's comments

Strong vertical retouch in the lower left spandrel, which bends outward near the top, a central guide dot in the right margin with both horizontal and vertical (at center) guidelines in the right margin.

The strong scratch in ADA P will clearly identify this position.

Searchable terms: heavy bend
