Beacon note: "The beacons are known by the proprietor of this and adjoining farms. (Int.) J.W. du T. M." Title P.A.2-21, 1.7.1879; stamped 11.8.1966. The diagram number is amended in manuscript from 877/1875 to 1978. Sides AB 1386.11 to JA 2483.49 Cape Roods with angles, ten beacons A to J. Drawn on it: Annex Zeekoegat, the Traka river, a House, Portion 2, and a pencilled "PLN 3". This diagram supersedes DOC-0153. [2 Aug 2026, read from the sheet itself] THE DIAGRAM NUMBER WAS RENUMBERED: '877/1875' is STRUCK THROUGH on the sheet and '1978' written above it in manuscript, so this is 1978/1875. Both are kept - the struck number is what earlier references will cite. Re-stamped 11.8.1966. Sheet BL-2 / BL-1. Examiner's note: 'The numerical data of this diagram are sufficiently consistent. (Sgd.) L. MarquardM.' Surveyor's note: 'The beacons are known by the proprietor of this and adjoining farms. (Int.) J.W. du T. M.' A FULL CLOSED TRAVERSE is tabulated, beacons A-J, sides in Cape roods and angles to the second: AB 1386.11, BC 869.39, CD 1423.03, DE 815.26, EF 638.07, FG 1181.69, GH 1008.54, HJ 322.37, JA 2483.49. That is enough to re-plot the 1874 farm independently of the cadastre if it is ever wanted. The plan face names ANNEX ZEEKOEGAT, PORTION 2, a handwritten PTN 3, REM, a House, and the Traka running through it. *** 'For list of deductions see back of diagram' - THE VERSO IS THE SHEET THAT ANSWERS LEAD-0063, and it is not held. *** AND A FINDING BEYOND THIS FARM: this title is P.A.2-21 of 1 JULY 1879. Annex Modderdrift (PAR-000069, Rhemhoogte Ptn 3) cites Deed of Grant P.A.Q.2-20 of THE SAME DAY, off a survey of the same year (dgm 1149/1874). Consecutive folios, one date, both out of 1874 surveys - the same batch-grant fingerprint as 15 April 1841, thirty-eight years later. See STO-0007. [TO VERIFY] how many more farms were titled on 1 July 1879.
