It is a printing term, rather than "archives-speak." I assume there is a point to the rest of your message, but since you have declared that I am both stupid and undoubtedly suffer from Alzheimer's, that must be the reason I fail to see what connection it has to census page numbering. Perhaps you can send me an email explanations it. Richard "Richard A. Pence" <richardpence@pipeline.com>
