It's a side view of that black rectangle in 2001 A Space Odyssey.

That's what I was thinking, a monolith.

No ideas on this? I'm curious as well, it doesn't look like ordinary column doubling.

Looks like the tip of a tiny drill bit, I wonder if it might have gotten into the press briefly and did this damage. Just a thought  |

It would have had to damage the die to make it raised. If it damaged the die then a lot more examples would be known. Looks like a thread fiber? It not just laying on the surface is it?

I called it a 'barber's pole'. Closer examination shows it as being suspended in mid air, and not sitting on the floor.
I have come to thinking that this error is caused by die damage, due to a short length of twined copper wire being caught on the die face.

Whatever did the damage to the die had to be a harder than the steel in the die. Just a thought  |

Maybe high tensile steel wire? If it is fine wire filaments, they have been flattened to give the 'barber pole' appearance.

I tried to get a closer shot, this is the best I could get.   |

Thanks for those images. The upper one you can see a start running upward and s stoping point. The design we think were are seeing isn't really there. So it appears to be scuff/rub on the outer die between the columns. The bays are part of the fields which are the outer face of the die.  You can see the continued mark on the bay to the left of the bay in question. The last two images put this puzzle to an end for me. |
