reference that is machine specific (about one machine only) would

have the machines abbreviation and a number, a reference that is

State or County specific would have the State or County

abbreviation and a number, and references covering more than one

machine would have either the authors last name, abbreviated or

an abbreviation that is now in general use.

Note 2: A reference with a machine abbreviation (column 2) and a

plus mark (+) indicates an update to the latest reference.

Column 4 - Year(s) or EKU LKU - The dates the postmark has been

observed either by a cancel or a reference. EKU - Earliest Known

Usage, LKU - Latest known Usage. A dash (-) between dates indi-

Note: An asterisk (*) prior the manufacturers letters

indicates the earliest date listed is an installation date and

not necessarily the EKU.
