Why else would you fight so hard for "this manual was the one that was used" when it's obvious that it wasn't in effect at the time?
Nowhere am I "fighting hard" for this manual if you actually read my comments.
I DON'T KNOW for certain exactly what date the handwritten coding was done, and I don't know for certain WHICH manual was used, and I don't know for certain WHAT the revisions were to the manual. I don't even know for sure that the piece of document the digital assembler used which had the handwritten marks was even from the year 1961 and not from, say, 1970.
By the same token, your claim that "it is obvious" the revised manual was NOT used for the coding cannot be correct, because just as it true that I don't know those things, neither DO YOU.
