Hi Benazeer,

* You might want to put a second label on the front of the Garamond
  14pt case to use the single nick type before the triple nick, also
  noting it's believed that are they same.

* If/when you do new labels (as you mentioned to me), you could cover
  them with adhesive one-side clear plastic, to keep them clean for
  decades.

  You could also xerox the APOster type catalog pages as well as the
  ATF catalogs to make the labels, where the fonts are known.

  Have me show you where 

  ** these  catalogs are

  ** where pinmarks and ATF Series numbers are found on type, and
  where the documentation is to figure out what they mean.

   Subject: garamond 14
   
   Hi all
   
   I was setting some type today and noticed that the tray of garamond 14 we
   have have pieces with two different groove patterns. I can't remember if
   this is a known thing, and nothing to worry about it, or if some other type
   got mixed in by mistake.
   
   Thanks and YiLFS
