Default Good neighbors!

For example, I can see that one section of a row went Ferrell | Foxx | Gelbert | Grove (with Frisch notably absent).

In addition to that section, I've figured out the following sets of printing sheet neighbors:

Klein | Kremer | Lindstrom
Lyons | Martin | O'Farrell
Root | Simmons
Terry | Uhle
Waner, L. | Waner, P.

If you have any other miscut Butter Creams that could shed light on the printing alignment I'd love to see them. I haven't seen any miscuts that reveal another card above or below the miscut card, so it's possible they were printed in single strips rather than in a sheet of rows. If anyone has a miscut to disconfirm that hypothesis I would appreciate that.
A number of the cards in my R306 set are sufficiently miscut to deduce their neighbors on the printing sheet. They are:
Earnshaw/Ferrell/Foxx
Klein/Lindstrom
PWaner/Wilson
Wright/Frisch
