(Note the Los Angeles #37 dial in the previous post is almost certainly a machine number at a central processing site, rather than a zone number at a remote station, a subtle but important difference from a postal history standpoint, although maybe too trivial a detail for this thread.) That said, I have not located a 37 in my own files, but I don't file this way either. Boston Zone System at Cambridge A, #39:  Ingalls, Indiana RFD cancel, route 39. No, Ingalls did not have 39 routes, but rather this is part of a countywide numbering system.  |
