Id: Cooper-Part-13:142-143 Page: https://cooper.theunsolved.net/documents/Cooper-Part-13%3A142-143 What is wrong (title, date, type, which pages belong together, copies)? What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.
