Leo's Notes
Left frame becomes weak opposite the top of leaf 2 and is thin from the middle of leaf 1 to the bottom.
Left edge of the LL spandrel is weak.
Vertical and bottom lines of the LNB are retouched; however, the vertical line is weak at the top and stops well short of the LL corner.
Guide dot touching the right border of the left inner oval.
