Meaning if you ruby our finger across the face you can feel it sticking up. Also I believe there is some doubling on it as well. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance Report this Post to the Staff

This page has a good definition. http://www.error-ref.com/?s=finning It probably has Machine Doubling but your pictures aren't the best. To get people to answer you need to post properly oriented pictures. For something small like doubling it is also nice to have close ups of the areas in question. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 9:11 pm When I see the edges of the reeds, you can see they have been altered a bit. From counting machines and rolling. Thus the edge is knocked off a bit. Note the reeds on the Bottom of the last image. PSD (Post-Strike-Damage) Report this Post to the Staff
