The C. grills were created by erasing the outer edges of the all-over A. grills on the grill roller. Due to incomplete erasure, some examples of the C. grill still show traces of the former all-over grill outside the borders of the central grill. Examples showing traces of the all-over grill are scarce and are priced separately by Scott in an explanatory paragraph above #83.
