Subject: VMs: Horizontal alignment lines on f38r...?

Hello Nick,

The lower line seems to extend straight across the holding clip which would
be an indication that it is an artifact line. There also appears to be a
line lower down at the flower level and perhaps a hint of a line at the root
level which I think would also be microfilm artifacts.

Regards,
Dana Scott
