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: “OCR text is heavily garbled. Title 'The Secret life of Walter Mitty' is readable. Original date '4Augi7' interpreted as 4Aug47 (1947-08-04) based on renewal year 1974. Original number 'L176' likely LP176. Renewal claimant 'Samuel Reiseiob htc Inc.' is a best guess from 'Samuel Relseiob htc Inc.' Renewal number 'RSSS735' corrected to R555735 per the target number.”
