			Three varieties of the Type 2(n)

Type #1 (10/27/45). The closing parenthesis around CL-82 is above the second killer bar.
Type #2 (12/25/46). A line drawn from the top of the 'P' in Providence across to the top of the closing parenthesis of (CL-82) is almost parallel to the top of the second killer bar.
Type #3 (04/15/49). A line drawn from the top of the 'P' in Providence across to the top of the closing parenthesis of (CL-82) is not parallel to the top of the second killer bar.
Thanks to Bob Govern for this information.
