I have never seen any case in which the same card was printed side-by-side _and_ adjacent vertically on the same sheet. (That is, 4 card parts visible, all the same card). But then again, I’ve never seen _any_ example of a T205 where I could see 4 identifiable card parts on the same card.

Thanx gonzo
Your scan of Devlin was not in your post when I started replying to you. Your Devlin is the first T205 vertically mis-cut card that I have seen. Really neat.
Whereas, there are many, many such T206's cards. Perhaps, by 1911, American Lithographic's Quality Assurance department had greatly improved.
