One of the perils of those old hand-written orders: They can be hard to read at times. After a good 15 minutes studying the order, here's what I'm able to decipher: "No. 204 two hundred four Eng 173 will wait at XXXX XXX 150 one fifty XXX for No. 203 two hundred three Eng 168." The part I can't make out just happens to be the most important part of the order. It is not hard to see how misunderstandings crept in from time to time, leading to various mishaps.
