Re: VMs: Numb Erones & Brumbaugh

[Florin <ifthink@xxxxxxxxx>]

I do remember something, on f57v on the second ring the distance
between l(lambda)
and ^ symbols is 2, also "l" was the number 4 and "^" was the number 7
for the old numbering style.

 .  l   .   .  ^  .
 3 4  5  6  7 8

Coincidence ?!
