[DCRM-L] Signature question

[Margaret F. Nichols]

Hi, Jessie,

I haven't seen a case like this one before, but will take a stab at it anyway, in the hope that it will spur more expert people than myself to respond. I wonder whether you could give the formula in this form:

a-b⁴ C² A-4B⁴ CCCC/DDDD⁴ EEEE/FFFF/GGGG⁴ 4H-5I⁴ 5K²

This might make it clearer that CCCC/DDDD and EEEE/FFFF/GGGG are each a single gathering.

Best,
Margaret

Subject: [DCRM-L] Signature question

Dear collective wisdom,

In cleaning up some of our records, I've come across the following signature statement: a-b⁴ C² A-4B⁴ CCCC DDDD⁴ EEEE FFFF GGGG⁴ 4H-5I⁴ 5K².
"CCCC DDDD" and "EEEE FFFF GGGG" each designate a single gathering."
Full record here<https://lawcat.berkeley.edu/record/284688?ln=en>
The online version at gathering 4E 4F 4G is here<https://reader.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/fs1/object/display/bsb10349351_00599.html>
<https://reader.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/fs1/object/display/bsb10349351_00599.html>

Is there a better way of describing this?

Thank-you,
Jessie
