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 number '11160' interpreted as LP1160 based on context and typical LP prefix. Renewal date inferred from surrounding records (2Aug74) as the line is cut off after 'United Artists Television,'.”

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: “The renewal number R583124 appears in the line 'R583124.' directly after the record for 'Possessed'. The original date is 26Jul47 (1947-07-26). The original number is not clearly legible in the OCR (appears as '11160' which is likely a misread of LP or similar, but cannot be confidently determined). The renewal claimant is United Artists Television, Inc. (PWH). The renewal date is SAuq74, which is 1Aug74 (1974-08-01). The following line 'Sportsman's playqround' is a separate record.”
