Scan Verification

Original handwritten convention cards (in Russian) shown alongside the transcribed tables. Use this page to spot-check the transcription against the source material.

5 unverified errors (ERR-20 through ERR-24) are flagged below with warnings. These need the physical convention card to resolve, as scan quality is insufficient.
