This bring up a question I've been meaning to ask. On my oldest OM-1,
the back of the film pressure plate has a stamp on it that has a Japanese
character that looks like a cross between a T and an upside down Y
followed by the number 31. I assume that's the plate identifier. Then
on the back itself behind the pressure plate is written (in pencil):
KW 56 3.17
SHT 59.6.14
Any ideas what those might mean? I seem to recall someone (John H?) mentioning
that repair codes were written in that spot.
