I think the problem might stem from the scan of Jerome Agel's book that you're using as a template.  It looks like yours might be a low-resolution copy a few generations removed from the original, while I was able to use a high-resolution image scanned directly from Agel's book.Incidentally, another excellent reference is Piers Bizony's The Making of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey from Taschen Press, which features a great close-up of the final prop on set.</blockquote>
