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 '110ctl4' interpreted as 11Oct44 (1944-10-11) based on renewal date 20Jan72 (27 years later). Original number '112996' corrected to LP12996 (common OCR drop of P and misread of 2 as 1).”
