From that, it's hard to say she wasn't thinking of a double helix. Combined with the fact that she had to correct W&C on the base placement, and knew about base complementary, it suggests that she did conceive of a bit more than Judson and Klug credited her for (which is odd given Klug's comments and conclusions).

In my mind this doesn't actually meet the final necessary criteria for full credit for the B-DNA double helical structure with base complementarity details, nor the recognition of its implications, it mainly changes some internal bits of the story.
