The 1969 series 3 layout is difficult to reconstruct for the following reasons:
a. There are 10 different rows, containing 110 cards.
b. There are not very many uncut partial panels (2 to my knowledge, with 18 cards).
c. There are not a lot of significant horizontal miscuts, which makes it difficult to tie vertical strings together.
d. The design of the cards requires a very significant miscut in order to get the information required to match up.
Having said that, Cliff and I (mainly Cliff!) have been able to put together a probable layout for the two slits, and place 82 of the 110 cards. The last few cards to place will be difficult.
The ten unique rows are headed by:
A. Harrelson
B. Hunter
C. Willis
D. Jerry May
E. Ricketts
F. Cottier
G. Jarvis
H. Kekich
I. Schultz
J. Weiss
The pattern for one slit is: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, A, B, I, J while the other looks like: H, A, B, I, J, C, D, E, F, G, E, F.
Hence the four rows headed by Harrelson, Hunter, Ricketts, & Cottier are the 3x rows, while the other six rows were 2x. FYI: the Reggie Jackson card, 260, is on one of the 3x rows.
