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 '21Augt2' interpreted as 21Aug42 based on renewal date 4Feb70 (27.5 years later). Original number 'Li2949' corrected to LP12949 (common OCR misread of P as i and 1 as l).”
