<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jamericon, post: 582373, member: 18294&quot;]<i>If you look at consecutive runs of serial numbers, the next note after an F is nearly always an A, and the next note after an L is nearly always a G. So the BEP seems to have printed a bunch of consecutive numbers on left half-sheets, and then another bunch of consecutive numbers on right half-sheets, rather than mixing them. Unfortunately these bunches didn&#039;t come in standard sizes; near as we can tell, they may&#039;ve been based on however many notes the BEP was planning to print that day, or some such thing.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Numbers got it right, except I would like to clarify one thing:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Actually, 12-subject sheets were printed as the whole sheet and were then cut into 6-subject half-sheets after the application of serial numbers. Here, the presses were programmed to print the lower and upper half of the entire assigned serial number range on the left and right half-sheets, respectively. The reason that you always find F-A and L-G position sequences (such as in changeover pairs) is that the resulting half-sheet piles ended up in different bricks after cutting and wrapping.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
