 in EEC & GE2no2

The  hairpin was inaccurately reproduced in the editions – already in FE (→GE1op,GE1no2) the sign is clearly shorter, which in the remaining editions was subject to further distortions or revisions. The compatibility of the sign's range in A and GE2op (→GE3op) and EEW is a result of overlapping of arbitrary, yet contrary changes.
