I had hoped to be able to (somehow) capture an image of the "cue marks" in Mank, and now someone has done it for me. It's on a Facebook group page ("Eyesofageneration.com") that's primarily about old television equipment and the like, but this got posted there, because it's "retro", I suppose. Actually, station operators did use visual cues at local TV stations, as well, back in the day. Here's a link to an 18-second clip that shows a set of cues as the scene approaches a fade-out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1425...1691061364509/
And these are 2 frame grabs off a monitor from their posted sequence, including one sloppy "cue" with a double-scribe, at the end of the fade-out:
