Hi there folks!
I have just received this A11 Control block and would like some help from more advanced collectors to assist me in completing my notes before I enter it into my collection.
I apologize if the following questions seem basic and I hope no one feels as though I have wasted their time.
Controls: Is this A11 wide? The note in my SG Vol.2 states the spacing between the figures at foot is 1.5mm for 'close' and 2mm for 'wide'.
Perforations: Are these perf type 2 Left feed?
Plate Markings: Would this rule be considered broken under EP of R.20/11? Is the Dot R.20 right side enlarged making this Plate 3b?
Thanks for taking the time to help me out, I really appreciate it.
New A11 Control to my collection, help with proper ID.

Hi Skilo
Your control strip is A11 (wide) and perf. Type 1a (top feed) from Plate 3a. Here's a link to my sheet on this plate, which includes examples of what I believe are Plate 3b. (there's a bug in the Discussion Board program which means the link will probably appear in the browser with unwanted characters at the end -- simply delete them and it should work; if not, copy the link and paste it into the address bar of your browser (as you suggested in your other post)).

Hi Mike,
Thanks for getting back to me, I have corrected my notes and appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
I was able to access the .pdf you linked and am quite honestly blown away! The words 'Fantastic' and 'Exceptional' are the first to cross my mind! I am truly impressed with the level of study shown and at the amount of work you have put into your page! Does this mean you have a 1d. Downey Book published or in the works? Count me in for a copy if so!!
I have added a close-up of R20/12 NE corner to show that my copy I believe also has the Tiny frame break at NE corner. I noticed this break when I had first looked at it when it arrived, and am now happier than ever to have this in my collection!
Thanks again for your help Mike,
Shawn K
