Comments

The difference between RIC 1401, 1402 and 1403 is the starting point of the reverse legend and the placement of Φ. RIC 1401 has the legend starting at the low left, while RIV 1402 and 1403 start at the low right. RIC 1402 then has Φ in the right field and RIC 1403 has Φ in the left field.
