Leo's Notes
Re-entry (in Marler)
- a) Doubling to the left of the right frame opposite GE.
- b) Doubling in the top right of the G and in the middle and bottom arms of the E.

- d) Faint doubling in the C in CANADA (upper middle and lower left).
- e) Faint doubling in the left margin opposite the C.
Notch just below the bottom of the E.
- One horizontal line, touches the right border.
- One vertical line just to the right of the centre.
Re-entry in Zone 28
Plate Position: 1R81
Listed in Marler
Sheet Format
Notch Type: RBR
On page 374, Marler states: "In 19 Subjects of Plates 1 and 2 there is in the white band around the portrait oval, either below E or at right center, either a single line or a group of lines. Whether this is a consequence of a re-entry or not, the author cannot say, but he considers them not to be of sufficient importance to warrant describing them, particularly as many of them are much the same in their general appearance."
In an article to be published in a future issue of "The Admiral's Log", Leopold Beaudet and I suggest that these "Notch" varieties are actually quite interesting. We have found over 40 different instances and many plate positions have been determined using the plate proofs at Library and Archives Canada.
