What do 1990s TV-animation director's notes say about slugging and timing conventions (slug lengths, minimum frame counts, dialogue on twos) and what does the timer hand to layout and animators?

A reposted 1990s TV-animation procedure sheet defines slugs as leader between recorded dialogue, gives a six-step flow from approved board to slugged board for editing, and sets frame rules: anticipations generally at least 8 frames, zip-outs about 2 frames with an anticipation, the first 6-8 frames of a scene hard to read, and dialogue exposed on odd frames because animation is shot on twos.
