This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Original date reconstructed from '26 Dech6' as 26Dec46 (1946-12-26) based on renewal year 1974. Original number 'mu97' interpreted as MP97 (common OCR error for MP). Renewal date from surrounding line R567281: 2Jan74. Claimant from 'United Artists Television, Inc. (PWH)'.”
