New discovery. SA 2d issue 16
Quote from JD on June 29, 2021, 12:28 pmHello all
I have recently purchases a block of 2d issue 16, showing sheet number 7193.
According to records there were 6000 sheets printed, from Job 475 and delivered between 2-4 December 1952.
Can anyone explain how this sheet number exceeds the quantity printed.
Tks

That would be strange since they would have to change the cylinders to print and start again.

If there is a sheet number beginning with 0, it will change the outcome.

Hi Bas, to help with my understanding, what do you mean by "in the same position opposite RR17 and 16"... are you referring to the position of the sheet number? And what does RR stand for?
