[Blog Post] The Pattern of the Wheel on 57v

[oshfdk]

Look closer Real close. Dowload the full resolution jpeg form Beinecke and 
look at it with 200% magnification and play with the color curves:

You should see a very very very faint h (only a lttle fainter than the y of pchhy at 05:30 on the outer ring).  Making that weirdo at 07:00 into a perfeclty normal ch.

I just took your enhancement. With the right amount of squinting, yes, one can see a stroke that would normally start the downward part of h (image A). However, with the same amount of squinting one can also see many other lines (image B). So, I don't think this proves that there is an intentional faded stroke there, it seems equally likely it's just the brain trying to fill in the blanks.
