About this plate
The painted construction of the same 2021 extension. Recorded separately from the film plate because Art. 2(5) leaves both constructions open and the two carry visibly different faces (no band, no hologram, 83 mm characters in 55 mm cells against 85 mm in 50 mm cells).
About the format
Digit skeleton only. See the SCRIPT LINE header.
