Calder's notes
Faint short entry along the North side of the stamp particularly North of "POS"; main position dot is slightly South centre and is oval North East and South West and is full.
Kershaw's notes
The short transfer is faint and weak running across the top-centre, with the LH oval guide dot touching but below the horizontal guide line (pg. 173)

Left oval dot at 4 o'clock, travelling dot on nose and weak transfer center top.
