Settled
| Abstract | No abstract, and none will be found. A note on this record already established it -- headed "No abstract, and none will be found -- recorded so the queue's repeated request has an answer on the record" -- but the finding was never written into the field, so the queue went on asking. This settle records it where the queue can see it. The document is a 1945 typescript report that opens on numbered sections; the copy is an image-only scan of 216 leaves whose OCR is poor, so there is nothing to harvest even if the genre had abstracts. |
