[DCRM-L] DPC on manufacture elements - final(?)(!) rule edits, with one example change

[Manon Theroux]

I continue to think that we should be able to resolve this in a
simpler way. I'd much prefer to keep 4A6.2. as a two-part rule. That
is the whole point of the "Generally ... However ..." structure.
Assuming we want to keep the examples that Jain has proposed, can we
do this?:  -Manon


4A6. Elements relating to publication, distribution, etc., vs.
elements relating to manufacture

Consider the wording, layout, and typography of the publication itself
when determining the most appropriate place to transcribe information
relating to the publication, distribution, etc., area. Keep in mind
that statements relating to printing will sometimes be more
appropriately transcribed as elements of publication, distribution,
etc., and sometimes as elements of manufacture.  Consult the following
instructions for guidance.

4A6.1. Statements relating to publication, distribution, etc., only

If the publication bears only a statement relating to publication,
distribution, etc., or multiple such statements, transcribe the
statement(s) according to the instructions in 4B, 4C, and 4D.

Geneuae : Sumptibus Petri Chouët, 1651
Viennae : Impensis Joannis Pauli Kraus, bibliopolae Viennensis, 1768
New-York : Sold by D. Felt & Co. ; Boston : Published by Cha's Ellms,
agent, [1835?]

4A6.2. Statements relating to manufacture only

4A6.2.1. If the publication bears only a statement relating to
manufacture, or multiple such statements, generally assume the
manufacturer(s) to also be functioning as publisher(s),
distributor(s), etc. Transcribe the statement(s) according to the
instructions in 4B, 4C, and 4D. Consider the words “place of
publication” and “publisher” in those instructions to refer equally to
the place of manufacture and name of manufacturer in such cases.

Moguntiae : In typographeio Ioannis Albini, anno 1602
Te Philadelphia : Gedrukt bij Hendrik Miller, in de Twede Straat,
MDCCLXII [1762]
Albany : Printed by Websters and Skinners ; New-York : Stereotyped by
G. Bruce, 1822

4A6.2.2. However, if the manufacturer is known or presumed not to be
the publisher, distributor, etc., transcribe the manufacturer
statement as such according to the instructions in 4E, 4F, and 4G. If
any details relating to publication, distribution, etc., can be
determined or reasonably surmised, supply them in square brackets.

[Boston : New York & Erie Railroad Company, 1856] (Boston : Farwells &
Forrest, steam job printers, 5 Lindall Street)
[Ontario? : s.n., 1907] (Edmonton : Jas. E. Richards, government printer)
[S.l. : s.n., 189-?] (Milano : Stamperia Artistica)
(Comment: Informational booklet for a traveling event whose
programming details indicate that the event was to take place in
various European cities)
