That is the part I don't understand. Why would it propagate outwards
more
easily than inwards? It's the same distance either way.

We just restored "My Fair Lady" about a year ago from the original
master
6-track mag. It did have print through throughout, though I think we
were
able to fix a lot of it. I'll have to check out the section Michael
mentioned.
