ONE THING that i would like to know is WHAT are these pencil marks that are on EACH COLB that has been shown here?? Even the sample from a DIFFERENT hawaiian hospital has the SAME weird pencil marks in the SAME places. A lot of lowercase a’s and the numbers 0, 1, 2 and 9 show up a lot. There must be another form that lies over the colb that makes these marks as it is filled out, or these marks come from the back of a colb that has been filled out and blead onto the front of one laid under it, OR they are marks made by some Hawaiian official that gets the BC’s and converts them to COLB’s... but the Handwriting on these phantom pencil marks all seem the same across different hospitals and years. They seem to line up with fill-in boxes that are not there. weird. those pencil marks are similar across the different COLB examples, but slightly different...
“WHAT are these pencil marks that are on EACH COLB that has been shown here??”
The clerk checking off that the required information is actually there, or that she had already entered it, most likely.
Think about having the job of pencilling this stuff in to a ledger, day, after day, after day.
