# Description:
#
#   The page contains only a circular diagram, framed by three faint
#   mechanically drawn circles and three rings of text (unit µ{C}).
#
#   The first ring of text lies just inside circle #1 (the outermost
#   one). Only the top half of the ring is filled, and mostly with
#   dots and circles; the text proper is only a couple of words.
#
#   Text rings #2 and #3 lie just outside circles #2 and #3. There are
#   extra-wide word gaps at about 10:30, not aligned, and smaller but
#   aligned gaps at 01:30.
#
#   Inside the frame there is a textured and lightly-colored disk,
#   whose outline is broken by nine features with frilled edges that
#   resemble fat mushrooms, or squashed cauliflowers, or sea anemones
#   without tentacles, or... um... well....
#
#   Between the text frame and the "mushroom thing" there are nine
#   radial phrases (unit µ{Y}), each with two or three words, reading
#   inwards, starting near the frame and ending in the notch between
#   two consecutive "mushrooms".
#
#   At the center of the diagram there us a star with six slender
#   arms, inscribed in a circle with 58 short and rounded fingers.
#   Every other finger bears some dots. Starting with the finger at
#   the tip of the 10:30 arm, and reading counterclockwise, we have
#   the following dot counts:
#
#     +           +               +                           -
#     2 3 3 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 2            
#     ^           ^        ^           ^         ^       ^                 
#
#   The items marked "+" and "-" may be one more or one less than
#   shown, respectively; so the total number of dots lies between 91
#   and 95, most likely 92. The "^"s mark the approximate position of
#   the star arms.  (The fifth arm actually ends between the first
#   3-dot finger and the following blank one.)
#
#   Between the star arms there are six labels (unit µ{X}), reading inwards.
#
#   A faint straight radial line extends from the 10:30 arm and
#   bisects the corresponding mushroom (which happens to be the
#   smallest one).
#
#   Just outside the many-fingered disk there is a ring of text
#   (unit µ{I}). Its starting point seems to be the radial line at 10:30.
#
#   Rene [04 Apr 1999] notes an "a" in pencil [where??]"
#
# Comments:
#
#   The starting point of the outer ring is probably at the aligned gaps
#   at 01:30, although the person who scribbled on the copy seemed
#   to prefer the non-aligned gaps at 10:30.
#
#   The starting point of the outer labels may be at 01:30 too, since
#   that label has a "p" gallows. Another possibility is the label at
#   10:30, just counterclockwise of the smalest "mushroom" (and of its
#   bisecting line).
#
#   John Grove thinks that the labels were written counter-clockwise
#   as those that are upside down are the ones between 6:00-1:00.
