- An inscription at the bottom of the sheet indicates that the plans for the corner units of Tusschendijken Housing Estate, Rotterdam, were revised, apparently because the streets were not identical in length and the street intersections not always at right angles. The inscription refers to the red pencil revisions by an unknown hand over the ground plan at lower left.
