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 '12059' interpreted as LP2059 (common OCR drop of P and misread of 0 as O). Original date '7Ju148' corrected to 1948-07-07. Renewal date '143u175' parsed as 14Jul75.”
