[5 Aug 2026 inbox] A READABLE SCAN OF THE SAME SHEET replaced the one held. The file on disk was a 39 kB TIF - effectively a thumbnail, and nothing on it could be read. 5 MB JPEG of the same diagram, and source_file now points at that; the TIF is kept beside it as the archive master. SAME SHEET, SO NO NEW DOC- ROW, per 8. WHAT THE READABLE VERSION SHOWS AND THE THUMBNAIL DID NOT: (1) A CANCELLED STAMP across the face - 'CANCELLED. VIDE Farm 123 (P.A.Q. 1-28)', signed by the Surveyor-General 7/4/70. That is 7 April 1870, and P.A.Q. 1-28 is exactly the grondbrief recited on the 1933 Kromrivier diagram (DOC-0247) as issued 17 May 1871 'ten gunste van GEROLUM MARINCOWITZ'. So the 1860 diagram was cancelled in 1870 and replaced by the title Gerolm Marincowitz took in 1871 - which is the sequence the parcel note had flagged as [TO VERIFY why] between the 1859 survey at 6325 mg 330 sr and the 1863 resurvey at 4982 mg 370 sr. (2) The examiner's note, 'The numerical data of this diagram are sufficiently consistent. (Sgd.) L. MarquardM.' (3) The full boundary list: bounded on the NORTH by PERSEKEN HOOGTE, EAST by MINIES KRAAL and OUDE MUURE, SOUTH by KLIP FONTEIN, WEST by RONDABLE. (4) An OUTSPAN drawn on the face, south of the werf. (5) The surveyors, 'Framed from actual Survey. (Sgd.) J. A. Thwaits, (Sgd.) J. W. du T. Melvill, Govt. Surveyors, Novb. 1859', and the copy stamp to Title P.A. Q.1-17 dated 11.9.1862, re-stamped 27.2.1967.
