No, I just download the images and keep moving...
I have various LFBCs. The ones created since at least 1981 do not show this obvious ‘bend’ on the left. They were likely scanned into an image library (likely an optical library) at the time and they likely done using a flatbed type scanner - so no bend.
But in 1966, when the Nordykes certified copies were made they just took photograph of the a document with that obvious bend laying on top of a template with the DOH and Registrars signatures. The document looks like it was dry and thus curled downward and away from the camera.
This ‘bend’ is in Obama’s copy. Why? It was printed in 2011. It should like all other newly printed LFBCs that were likely converted and stored in a digital image library. It SHOULD be flat. But it is not. It looks like one created in.....1966!
That would be correct if they do actually have a digital image library of the original documents. This is the first I am hearing of such a library. But if, for whatever reason, they did return to the bound book and laid it on a scanner or copier, then the bend would indeed show.
I'll have to find my link for the BC received in March 2011 when I can get on my other computer. Thanks!
