Piedmont 150 plate scratch(es) progress

Hi Pat. I have a copy of what you term Young (bh) 6. Looks to me like it fits over your Young (bh) 1. Have you just not updated all of your mock-ups or do you have reason to believe that they do not line up?

Steve, sorry I missed your question and just saw it as I was about to post
something here.

The sheet that has the Young (bare hand) on it has been the hardest to try
and figure out. The sheet that is in my imageevent with young on it was
originally two different partial sheets and I did have Young 1 and 6 connected
vertically but it was pointed out that the two sheets looked like they went
together and I thought they might, but in putting them together Young 1 and
6 had to be separated. I haven't worked on this sheet much recently but I
think it may actually be two different sheets as I originally had them.

I think I found the final piece of the puzzle for one of the sheets but I have
to wait to confirm it. If it fits it should give the final number of Horizontal
subjects on this sheet (and I think at least all of the PD 150 layouts used
when the damage occurred on all of the plate scratch sheets). Based on the press sizes
available at the time they were printed I think it should give us the vertical number also.

I recently found this unconfirmed Waddell scratch that I was almost certain should exist based on the Waddell (port) same sheet position relationship with Schulte (front view). There were four different Schulte scratches and two Waddell (port) scratches. Both Waddell scratches were exact matches with two of the Schulte scratches indicating they were in the same sheet position on two different sheets, therefore I was pretty sure the two other Schulte scratches would eventually be found on a Waddell (port) PD 150.

It really makes the research worthwhile when you find these
scratches that you think should exist based on a pattern.
