I sometimes wonder how these errors occur. 1952 was still the era of hot metal and linotype, and hand-setting pages in "formes" ...
I've heard of Gavin Casey but I don't think I've ever read any of his stories.

Everyone makes mistakes. Something misheard, mixed up or whatever. Or it could have been a job given to the work-experience kid.
