I did a screen print to PDF of the "better (and clearer)" print, and was
able to zoom in to the "Frame" drawing. It seems to me that "Note 'A'"
is a detail looking down on the top face of the frame, and "Note 'B'" is
is a cross section through the frame at the point indicated by the
arrows, as seen from the right hand end looking along the frame.
I hope this helps.
