MAFF's comment: "Poor tape translation after 25 days, perhaps
an encoder fault. Initially this seemed to cause spurious 64,
128, and 256 values to be included and the series was edited
to remove these. But eventually, after 56 days, these became
too numerous and it was difficult to have confidence in the amended
bit values. The series was therefore terminated on 6 Sep 90.
Data after 6 Aug 90 should be used with caution, however."
