In each set one disc is signed on the outer edge, in ink M.D. Each wall-hanging unit, designed by Duchamp on the basis of the 1963 edition, bears on the back of the front panel a brassplate on which Duchamp etched his signature, date(1965), and number of the example(1/150 to 150/150); at the bottom of the plate, in printed letters, the following caption, set as two lines, has also been etched: "Rotorelef 1935-1953 / Edition Galerie Schwarz, Milan". -According to Arturo Schwartz: The Complete words of Marcel Duchamp, London 1969-
