Other features
Loops: principle almost identical to 0466. Between rows, almost always 3, but occasionally 5 or 7. 3/3/3/3/3/3/3/5/3/7/3 Probably same grid pattern as 0466, but uncertain.
The loops seem to work independently, not in every shed are both loops pulled up every time.
Loop length c.11mm.
