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 of interest was unreadable, but the record for 'SCRAPPY'S EXPEDITION' is complete and clear. The renewal date '2Ju162' is interpreted as 2Jul62 (1962-07-01). The original date is 3Sep34 (1934-09-03). The original number MP4984 is clearly read. The surrounding lines contain fragments of other records (No.5, No.6, No.9) which appear to be serial parts, but the target record is a standalone motion picture.”
